Getting Back to Life

I am now a little more than two months post operation, and things are going very well.  I am almost back to normal life.  Although I can do everything I used to, I say almost because I feel awkward doing these everyday tasks.  I am very stiff, so simple things such as getting in and out of a car make me feel like I'm made of metal.  Hopefully, this horrible feeling passes soon.

The recuperation was not that bad at all.  The pain medications keep the pain at bay.  The hardest parts of the recovery in my opinion were not being able to do much, the massive amount of hair that fell out, and the stabbing sensation in my leg.  The surgeon accidentally hit a nerve during the surgery which resulted in this stabbing pain in my left leg.  This passed after about a month, but it was more painful and annoying than any back pain I encountered.  My abdomen is swollen, which isn't that terrible of a side effect, but definitely annoying!  I can't wait for that go away for bikini season. lol

Well now that I am back in action, I am trying to find a job and get back into a routine.  I'm finding it very easy to get depressed laying in bed all day without much to do.  Thank god for the good news I'll put in my next post, otherwise I might have fallen to depression...
