Thanks Debs .. I am not in the hospital. Will check in on the 10th. Had visited last week on a daily basis for the numerous tests and Pre Anesthetic check

I am relieved to here it - I thought you might be climbing the walls by now otherwise! Not long now. It must be good to know it's almost here and you can get on with it!

[mouse57]

What operation have you had

 

[mouse57]

You just need to take your time to recover and don't push your self, relax and don't get in a panic. It takes time to all the parts you need to do. Go for a wee have a small drink to replace but don't push your self just chill. Listen to your body and go with you feelings. You will feel weepy its normal let it out and don't try to hind your feelings. Be kind to yourself. Good luck

 

[lynnepoth]

I have had bypass! Well they told me to keep moving round every half hour! Am knackered tho!

 

[mouse57]

Just a quick spelling check there I'm not talking about your tits lol, you do need to move around but you do need to remember you've had major surgery so it's not just the out side it's the inside as well. Just get plenty of rest and don't rush this is the beginning of the rest of your life.

Hey all. How's everyone doing. I seem to be doing ok. Started with brisk walk today. Managed 3.6 km in about 43 minutes. Intend doing the same distance in the evening..... Maybe at a slower pace. My Doc recommends to aim for 5km each in the morning as well as in the evening by end of week 4. I guess I should be able to manage it.
