So Bec's Operation Went Well :)

[Bec]

Glad to hear you're doing better and the surgery was successful. As to your migraine...my mother has suffered for over 20 years with horrible migraines, she went in to have knee replacement and the anesthetist failed to warn her about the possibility of a migraine from anesthesia withdrawl....wow she thought she was going to die!

So I'm glad it wasn't a stroke and your home...that where people heal the best.

I had migraines all during high school and into my mid twenties, so I guess I was "pre-wired" for this one, although this anethesia withdawl-trigger hadn't happened after any other surgery to date. Have to admit, by the time we hit the wall a second time I was in so much pain I was thinking "just kill me now, I don't do well under torture ..."

Well, speaking as someone who generally enjoys torture (you know what I mean, tee hee) I can't even imagine having gone through that. I almost died after my appendix disaster and still, it doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as that! I can't imagine crashing a patient into a wall twice! I'm so glad you're home and recovering well.

I've been away from active posting as well, and just dropped in to see this - you'll want to jump back in where you left off, but do what the doctor says and force yourself to ease back into things...

Take care of yourself! I re-injured myself after surgery by doing activities the doc told me to do, way too soon. Listen to your body and I wish you speedy healing!

Bec,

I had the same surgery a couple of years ago. The one thing I found it is DON'T LET YOUR DOXIE JUMP UP ON YOUR TUMMY!

Get well soon sweetie!!!

We all love ya,

Bill

OMG -- that hurt just reading about the thought!!!!

Trust me, the girls are not permitted to jump on mom, and they know they must wait at my feet for loving pats and strokes. And they just about wiggle out of their skin waiting for my attention.

So how much physical stuff were you able to do once you healed up?

Once it's healed up you pretty much don't have any limitations. Just takes a while to heal completely. But then, you've got to remember that my philosophy on exercise has always pretty much been that; "whenever I get the urge to do it I lay down till it passes", so for the most part I don't do a lot of physical stuff except for my fingers on the keyboard.

Love ya,

Bill

That's pretty much my attitude towards exercise, but on occasion I'd like to be able to bend down to the vicinity around my feet and not cause excessive pain. LOL

Don't worry Bec, you will be able to do that with no problems. I planted a huge garden this year with no problems. If sales continue to fall, you may see me selling tomatoes and eggplants here on the board. LOL

Isn't it amazing just how "aware" we become of each day outdoors, it's colors, lighting, breezes, smells, etc after being really sick?

I've always enjoyed gardening, but this year it's like I'm actually craving being able to get my hands dirty.

So what else hit the dirt besides tomatoes and eggplant?

You take care Bec and I wish you a very speedy recovery. My hubby had bi-lateral hernia surgery last year and although taking 2 to 3 months to really begin doing things, he's back at full capacity, doing all he did before and actually more. So I have faith that you're going to be just fine! I'll be thinking of you!

Bec,

You are absolutely correct, everyday I spend outdoors I see everything in a different light and enjoy every moment.

Hmmm, let's see, in the garden we have lettuce, radishes, squash peas, beans, brussel sprouts and jack o' lantern pumpkins in addition to the tomatoes and cucumbers. The pumpkins were put in for my daughter.

I just spent two weeks in Palm Springs and just got back. Going to put my farmer cap on now and go do some weeding and hoeing.

Hugs,

Bill
