9 Weeks Post-Op
Tuesday, July 12th, 2005
Hey guys. 9 weeks today! Who would have thought!? It seems like a million years ago and yesterday all at the same time. I’m feeling pretty good in terms of recovery. The swelling comes and goes. But I deal with it as best I can. The scar looks like it’s getting lighter… I really see an improvement in some parts. I’m pretty much back to all my activities, not really having any problems. The only time I feel held back by it is when I have to make a long stretch. It doesn’t hurt, but I feel it pulling on the incision in a strange way. Other than that, I’m back at frisbee, jogging, climbing, kickball, biking… you name it.
One problem I’m deal with right now, not exactly surgery related, is still my weight. I’ve creeped back up to 155 which isn’t exactly where I want to be. I feel happy around 152-153. And I know that doesn’t sound like a lot of difference, but it is to me. So right here and now, I’m committing to myself and you people to get back on the wagon. No more “oh I deserve this” or “I worked out, this is okay.” Got it!? And if you see me slipping.. hold me to it!
But in good news, I started to go shopping and I’m so giddy because I’m a solid size 8! Hooray!
