I survived my surgeryyyy and also found out Vicodin and fentanyl hardly touch my pain much to my nurses surprise. The doctor said I had larger than normal bone spurs too so yeah, you know I’m a winner 😎 Now to try and be okay with people taking care of me for the next few weeks

Well..

Today was my first day without using my walker at work since my 2 hip surgeries. Stairs are still hard but at least I don’t have to have the walker all the time.

1 week post ffs.

Do I really need to explain this is nowhere even close to final results?

And all the bruising. Damn. And yes, still all the pain and medicating for it.

Ya boy is home safe and uterus free!!

Surgery went well!

So good news! I’m under no restrictions, they want me to slowly start moving my arm. I only need to wear the sling at night or for comfort, I can’t get the sutures wet, and I can start just taking the Aleve and Tylenol for pain (but if I feel I need the stronger stuff, I can take it). The nurse said most of what they took out was inflamed bursa tissue and a couple of centimeters of the distal clavicle was shaved off to prevent more issues in the future. They want me to do the exercises I was given, and will see how I’m doing at the PostOp appt on the 27th to see if I need physical therapy or not (I’m going to wear the sling for today at the very least).

So all in all this is the best outcome and I’m hoping because most of what they removed was inflamed tissue that it’ll heal up quickly. I just wish I hadn’t been made to deal with the pain for a year and 9 months before surgery was an option to help this to heal, but at least I won’t be stuck in a sling for as long as I thought I was going to be (I thought I was going to be in it for at least a month, but instead it’ll just be at night while I sleep for the next 2 weeks).

Lurched around the kitchen & made a gluten free mock apple pie today, my knees are crap since surgery. My pie looks like apples inside, but its zuccini with lemon and spices- its delish warm with ice cream🥧

My hOney got me flowers today. The white ones smell the best🤍 I’m pretty doped up trying to not do so much so my knee will heal, but I’m worried- its frozen crooked, can’t bend or straighten it😬 I see dr nx wk, so between now & then I practice being patient 😶

Buck & Frances are keeping me company today💙🐶💜

When facing death, I found life. When hope got ripped away I turned to the gods and the ancestors.

Thankful for family, both by blood and by choice.

The Fourth of May marked five years since my cancer was removed. The force is within me.

Planning to start my Zoom re-entry the 2nd week in July - PT is finally tapering down to once a week. I’ll start with standing and seated ball exercises and take it from them - at 3 months + post op I’m excited to get back to working out with my friends

Lunch on the couch! Strawberry Greek Yogurt with raspberries and chia seeds.

In other news, I did a free trail at a gym through December. I started to feel scared walking in the dark in the city, so it was a really nice feeling to be able to workout in a safe place. I signed up 2 days ago.. and our province just locked us down again today and gyms are closed 🙄. Great. I was so excited to be back at it.

Two days out and bandages are off. It’s crazy to me that they don’t do stitches anymore ! But just makes my life easier I guess. Sore and bloated but already getting bored so this will be an interesting few weeks for sure. #postop #loveyourscars #wishicouldfartmore

Als ich ein Kind war, gab es Hühnersuppe wenn ich krank war. Nichts war so wirksam wie Suppe von Mama. Diese ist zwar nicht von Mama aber trotzdem gut.
OP für diese Woche ist geschafft, jetzt lecker Suppe und ausruhen, vielleicht schaffe ich es nachher noch ein paar Seiten zu schreiben.
Drückt mir die Daumen und kommt gut für die Woche.
