have I over done it?

I am 16 Days out I still have alot of pain I am trying not to take the pain meds (the make me very nausuas(?))I am also going crazy!Sitting in this house is driving me nuts I am normally very active any advice and should I still be hurting!(oh and I did got to wal-mart) Wished I wouldnt have!

I can certainly understand going stir crazy... it helps me to do some little thing... even if it's just a couple of stretches and some breathing routines... or a crossword puzzle... write a note ... read some posts...see if you can help someone else... that always helps me when I can manage it... anything that is within your activity level... don't get antsy and just go for it... I've talked to too many women who have and they pay for it in spades... for years... don't do it...

Your body needs some pain free time to heal... if you can't take your current pain meds... tell your doctor... and get some others... until you find some that you can take... being in constant pain is going to slow your rate of healing... not to mention fry you emotionally and make life just that much tougher...you need to be able to rest... and actually have some quality sleep without nagging pain... let your doc know you are hurting and that the meds disagree with your system... I'm not hurting much from the TAH/BSO and I'm 14 days out... other than my jacked up back... make sure nothing is wrong... yes I know I'm opinionated... I was having a melt down (no I'm not saying that you are having a melt down) and some very nice opinionated ladies from this web site got me moving... they made a wonderful difference... I hope I've been helpful...

well i have already kinda jumped the gun i felt better so week 1 i did house work and cooked so i took a step back then mon i felt better so i went to the barn put fly spray on horses put them in diff pasture and i have hurt ever since i am worried i have done damage if not i have had a set back at the least

tell me you didn't lift any bales of hay... M

lol no I didnt lift any hay just fixed the fence a little (it is a hot fence nothing heavy or streneous) caught horses 1 by 1 fly sprayed & turned em out!

I sware that Wal-mart is like running a marathon~ I went in today for a few items but you know how spread out the place is so by the time I reached the check out I got all sweaty and felt dizzy and weak and had to sit down, how pathetic is that!

I know how ya'll feel. I am trying to get ready for Hurricane Rita; I went to the store and couldn't make it through the whole store. I got so aggravated. When am I ever going to be able to shop for my family. I am hurting so bad tonight. My whole body is aching. I think I overdid it today. After the store, my daughter and son came home from school and they helped me do laundry, then I swept just a little, then I did the dishes. I hope I didn't hurt myself today, but I didn't have a choice. I have to get ready. We will probably be without electricity for a while if we stay. Even if we leave to go North then everything still needed to be done. My hubby isn't superman, he can't possible work and take care of everything else.

Flannelsister my thoughts and prayers are with you! hang in there you'll make it hun!!!

Thank you, Cherrykitty. I know I will make it. I know in my heart we will be fine, but my heart needs to tell my head that. I know God would never give us more than we can handle. But I have been freaking out today. It is so hard not to worry, to give your problems up to him. If only we could look at it through the eyes of a child. It is so simple to them.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

flannelsister, I dont know what your surgeon told you but I was told NO vacuuming, sweeping or mopping! but I have swept alittle and mopped once
