I wanted to get on earlier, but my right shoulder has been hurting from compensating for my right side having been chopped up, and it made trying to get on the computer and type painful all week long.
I had my first follow up visit with my surgeon yesterday - the good news, all of my incisions look to be healing properly. My infection seems to be clear so I am off antibiotics now too. (Yipee!) The bad news? He feels I am trying to do too much, too soon. *grumble grumble* Apparently, he'd rather I was in bed 23 hours a day I guess. I didn't feel like I was trying to do too much - I've only been trying to supervise things around here sometimes. (OK, OK, Thursday I swiffered because I couldn't take the furballs in the hallway!) Doctor's estimated time of healing? 3 months! *faints* I'm already missing seed starting, my house looks like a nuclear bomb went off in here, and he's saying three months? In another three weeks he says I should be able to be bending over at least, and lifting things up to ten pounds. (Poor Magick, he can't understand why I haven't picked his big fat tush up since I've been home. lol)
So it's going to be slow going around here, but I'll be trying the best I can. And I know, winners, winners - that's my next step. (So sorry!)
And go figure, Thursday DH came home with the insurance packet from work. If only they had been about 2 weeks earlier! :(

Glad to see you back online and all my best wishes for a good recovery.
Three months is going to go very fast, fear not! In the meantime, it would seems adviseable to listen to the Surgeon...Dustbunnies or whatever it is called here will wait!
Blessings,
Oh, gees! What did you do??? I hope you are taking care of yourself--you need to recover, you know.
Now is the time for your FAMILY to step up. Anyone can swiffer. Anyone can do laundry and wash dishes. You have to demand that they help you. Seriously. And I hope they prove to you that they can and will help you.
Here's wishing you a good recovery and that it is not as long as 3 months. But if it is, be sure to take care of yourself so you don't do more damage and it takes longer than that.
Take care of yourself, pally!
Boy do I wish I lived in your neighborhood. I'd be happy to pop in and help. (Alas, I'm about 3000 miles away). Relax and pamper yourself. We're not going away. You're loyal fans will wait patiently till you're back on your feet. If you take care of yourself, it will only be three months. If you try to be superhuman, it will be longer before you fully recover. Zombies haven't invaded, only a few dust bunnies. Dust bunnies never killed anybody. Ummm, you weren't actually attacked by a zombie, were you?
Was it Aflac? lol We always seem to be just a few weeks or months late for someone. Hope you get better soon but take care of YOURSELF!!! The house will survive, as will the family.
I hope you feel better soon.
Take it easy or your healing will go backwards and you'll be down longer!
Glad to hear you are healing well even if it is going to take longer that you expected. Take it easy...
I wish you are quick and easy recovery. Time for friends and family to step up and in...Follow the doctor's orders or your recovery might take even longer!
Rest, relax, try not to worry about the small stuff . . . allow yourself to heal and get well :)
Pamper yourself in the meantime . . . you deserve it!
Take care of yourself . . . Gina
