Why don't I feel better? I took my list of questions.
Q: *Not sleeping *Discomfort lying down *Endless Dull Pain *When to lift and return to my nanny job *Swimming?
A: “It takes some patients longer, so at 6-weeks start returning to normal activity, swimming too. Some resume earlier, everyone is different.”
Q: When will the surgical tape wear-off the incisions, one is off now. A: Anytime. It will happen naturally. Bathing is not a problem for the tape nor is your heating pad. Q: HPV testing for mouth, just to give me peace of mind. A: Can do the swab here, now, and then call for an appt. with Dentist... he has the “special light” for oral cancer screening. (The light is called a Velscope)
Q: Hot Flashes, on and off all day and night, cure? A: Naturally (Herbal Hormone Balance) Take Estrotone by New Chapter. (Yes, I have it. I have not resumed my vitamins since surgery because digestion’s been too difficult. Q: Night Sweats? I’ve had two so far. A: Post surgery is normal to experience them, they probably won’t continue.
Extremely happy to have my check-up with my regular OB specialist who has been monitoring my cells for the last 2-yrs.
My belly is sore! I am extremely uncomfortable! I don't walk normal, very slow. I hate to bend, that just acts things up inside. And... I am avoiding scar tissue to the max.)
Left with a refill on my 600mg Ibuprofen. (It only takes a tiny edge off.) It does not help me sleep. Ug! I hate this discomfort. But, it keeps me down and resting. If I felt better I may do more, too soon. I'd be at the beach every day if I felt better. I have not seen the beach since my surgery. Leaving the house does not feel comfortable.
My weight 122, lost a pound. That’s because I’m keeping my diet super simple for digestion purposes. Spaghetti squash, my dark greens, papaya for breakfast. (Bananas not yet, my stomach hates to digest them!) Black cherries and berries for snacks. Cottage cheese and peaches when I take a pill so it does not burn my stomach, or blueberries.
Today was a rough day, didn't want to leave the house. I think the healing inside is making me uncomfortable. I can't seem to get comfortable. I can only take my mind off of it by puzzling and watching a movie. It's affecting my editing. My concentration is off. I read the same paragraph over and over and I'm getting nowhere. I just wish for some good days!
(I had "tiny" spotting yesterday so she did a urine test to make sure there is no infection. That was the first I saw any blood. I pray there is nothing wrong. My level of discomfort should just be normal even tho it feels like I got shot up by 5 bullets! My left side bears all the pain. My top incision on the left is my worst area. OOUUUCCCCHHHH!!!!!!)
Still not driving. My editor takes me on all my appointments and errands. Opens my car door, pushes the grocery cart, carries in my groceries, takes my trash out. Refills my water jugs. Helps me cook. Takes my videos. He is my rock! I could not handle this recovery alone. Mahalo Bruce! "My God-sent angel!" I'm lucky he's retired!!! Today we had lunch in the hospitol cafe, just behind me in the video. Our hospital prepares amazing meals, and it's very well known! When they serve their grilled Ahi, and that special sauce... aw, you want to get there before it runs out.
Urine result was good. No infection. She has me monitoring my water intake "to drink more". And paying attention to any pain at release. So, now, I fill up five "GLASS" Voss bottles and make sure I have drank them all by the end of the day.
