It's been a pretty tough week, but today is definitely the best day so far. I'm just taking it one day at a time. No complications during surgery. Hopefully once my body gets back on track things will work smoothly. My goal for today is to stand up long enough to take a shower. It's amazing what little things we take for granted when we're feeling well...like being strong enough to wash ourselves. I still have a long way to go, but hopefully the worst is over. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers! -------------------- ~Mary Had surgery for rectal prolapse in Sept. '06 and feeling good now! Loving life with our IVF miracle #1.

Mine are not working too well yet. I know it's only been a week, but my stomach is so puffed out that I look like I'm pregnant. Normally my stomach is very flat. I was just curious how long it took for things to move easily? -------------------- ~Mary Had surgery for rectal prolapse in Sept. '06 and feeling good now! Loving life with our IVF miracle #1.

I know about appreciating the little things! What I do (and am doing) for showering - because I can't stand on my right foot and I have to bag it before I shower - I have a plastic stool in the shower to sit on. I put a face cloth on top so it isn't so rough on my tush. I put all my shampoo etc within reach and I sit in the shower. I'm worried about falling over and hurting my foot more than it already is. Like Avidan said - it's not worth the pain lunging for the soap! Best of luck for a speedy recovery! Cassandra -------------------- Cassandra Live like there's no tomorrow.

It does take time to heal and we never expect to be so incapacitated. I don't know if it is because they move everything around inside or they pump you up with gas to better visualize stuff, but after abdominal surgery the belly is puffed for some time. It will go down. And it takes time for the colon to get going again. That was pretty intensive surgery you had! Sending love, hugs and healing thoughts.

Granted, that may be due to the Miralax my doc had me on, but you'll see some puffiness for a while. Give it a few weeks.
