You just had major surgery - give yourself a break love! Anesthetic alone will do that to you never mind the op and infections. Just keep doing what you are doing and it will pass. What do you have to do - can you delegate to friends?

 

[mandyl]

thanks caroline.
nah only me but its ok only really feed and tend to cat bit of washing up xxx

Hi Mandy,

It is good that you feel you have the support of everyone here and know you can pop in at anytime for reassurance.

You have had major surgery and as such it is going to take you time to get back to feeling your old self again.

The main thing for now is for you to look after yourself and not over do things.

This is your time to relax and put your feet up and focus on getting stronger and healthier every day.

What about doing a diary thread and writing down in it how you are feeling and coping with the day to day changes this surgery is bound to bring...

This time next year you will have it to look back on and see how far you have traveled during in one year.

Love Mini xxx

Now Ive trained my moggies to open tins with a tin opener (I wish). Just take it easy - washing up can wait till tomorrow.

I hope you have seen a doctor about the chest infection and wound Mandy....Dont let them get worse. Have you been given antibiotics?

Hope you feel better soon

Mandy u have just had major surgery and to top it all off u now have 2 infections ur body must be seriously complaining big time lol.
Hopefully in 3 days time the antibiotics would of kicked in and u will start to feel better, u need to rest loads and make sure u r drinking plenty of fluids.
Take care and we are here if u need us xxx

 

[tesmaralda]

Mandy you need to relax and as has been said the washing up can wait for a day. The diary thread like mini suggested is great it does help to look back on. If you don't feel better soon get yourself back to the drs. Take care of yourself. x x x

 

[Sambucca]

Mandy, what you are feeling is normal. I felt really tired too for the first week or so. You are hardly eating or drinking and now have a poss chest infection and wound infection to deal with.

Definitely get yourself to the doctors if you havent already, and dont be too hard on yourself hun.

Also agree with the others. A diary thread is a great way to offload your thoughts. Have a think about it hun xx

Mandy, you've just been incredibly brave in having major surgery. Your body needs to recuperate, stuff the washing up. Plates are 25p each at Ikea, chuck the dirty ones away lol.... Put your feet up and rest girl. Your gonna need all your strength to fight off all the hunks when you've lost your excess lbs xx

 

[dreamofbeingslim]

Mandy you need to rest and take it easy. It will take a while for the anaesthetic to work its way out of your system. On top of that the infections will make you feel tired. Take care (((hugs))).

Mandy, as I've said, I don't live far from you. I can come over and give you a hand, I've got tomorrow (Tuesday) off. Just pm me your address and I'll be over with a supply of paper plates and cups. Do you need me to get you any shopping?

PM me! Oh, and take care of yourself.

What a lovely, supportive friend you are, I tried to rep you but I loved you too much recently. Just had say something as it really touched me that you would extend that type of friendship. Mandy you have a good friend in her, take her up on her offer. Why carry the burden alone when you can have some help?

Feel better, pamper yourself and smile, you are surrounded by people who care.
