Surgery, and Post Surgery: Week 1

Day of - not much to say except that now I'm 3x with a history of adverse reaction. Yup, again. And there was some much needed perspective in the pre-op, when I overheard my pre-op neighbor saying she was here for a craniotomy for a meningioma (?) and that her husband had died two years ago. Jeezus, and I'm worried about things?!

Woke up, to LA saying he passed STEP2!

Days after - abdomen lumpy swollen, 4 tiny cuts, so damned tired and anxious about my inability to move and do what I want. I feel like time is both dragging and compressed. I can't walk the dog alone yet, can't pick things up, thank fully LA is here too most of the time. 

How are my goals? Why did I make so many goals about exercise and work right before surgery?! Focus for now on fixing the Ms's.

Up to the 1 week mark: On the day, on week after surgery, I went for a run! SHORT. Up Mosquito Hill. Shhhh don't tell anyone. 

I'm still working on my other changes. Y'know, sit down and enjoy M3. We are, but why is it so hard?!

The pain is OK, sneezing and coughing are painful. Leaning back into bed and getting back up, painful. Other than that, bring on week 2.
