It's a quick hello and goodnight from me. I only posted twice today. Once for my "Happy" friends and once for my "Exercise" friends. I've been feeling pretty crappy for the last few weeks and I decided that tomorrow morning, I'm restarting my walks regardless of how I feel. Maybe the endorphins will kick in and help bring me back where I belong. I promise to take it slowly.
Sorry I have not been more interactive, but I'm hoping tomorrow's restart is the beginning of something good!
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

Hang in there Charley. It's a process.
Karla, DH is progressing well on his honey do list. He put in a new kitchen sink and faucets, he cleaned out the spare bedroom which is now the "library" (no ladders in there, BTW), and is now working on the two sinks in the master bath. He has hit a snag there, however. The hole for the sinks is about an inch bigger than the new sinks. When we bought the new ones, we thought they'd be exactly the same as the old ones. WRONG! So now he's working out what to do. You see, we bought them 10 months ago and he threw away the boxes on Tuesday, thinking there wouldn't be an issue. As the wrench turns...........
going into "mom" mode
Charley, have you called your Dr to tell him your feeling "yucky" might not hurt to get his opinion
I'm seeing him a week from today. I have a good friend who is a nursing director with whom I worked for years. She said "You should feel significantly improved at 6-8 weeks (notice I didn't say fully recovered). People really don't get that this is MAJOR surgery." and of course, she's right again. She always is. Tomorrow is six weeks.
Charley.....by now you've figured this out. It takes time.....lots of time.
My hubby had removal of the prostate gland 2 years ago. For an active, hard working-on-the-go man, in great shape, it set him back quite a bit, and much to his dismay, missed 8 weeks of work. His positive outlook got him through 39 radiation treatments, which were scheduled 6 a.m. 3xweek. He went back to work after 8 weeks (3x week starting with a radiation treatment) stretched daily, and gradually regained his strength. Now, after 2 years of healing, he has no pain and is physically working his 10-12 hour days, at age 69, as if nothing happened......other than the side effects from quarterly lupron shots.
You just can't rush these things.
Just an after-thought.....not making light of your situation, Charley.....just providing our experience for your encouragement.
