3 mos. post-op

I'm feeling better, but still not 100%! I'm at the stage of...I cannot believe that I underwent such a horrible surgery and post-op. I'm grateful for each good day and I know that I will be myself again soon - I hope Tell me this will get easier and a pain-free life will be here too!

Hi nfoley
I can tell you that at 3 mos. I was still having some issues with discomfort and still not feeling like I could take on the world. I had to be careful what I did and paced myself, trying to listen to my body to tell me when I had done enough. If I did that, everything went better for me.

Each week I was able to do more than before, but my body still reminded I had had surgery. For me it got better and better, but it took me about 8 mos to get all the way to feeling 'normal'. We're all different in what we had done and how quickly our bodies heal. in there, it will get better and healing will come.

Me too. I am having more good days though. Certain things still wipe me out. But I listen to my body. Don't feel confident to lift certain things (for ex.40 lbs of cat litter!) but am getting stronger each day.
