Two weeks ago, today, I was preparing for surgery. Now, I am in full-blown recovery mode. I've been following my doctors orders to a Tee and see progress with each new day. One of the orders is walking. It is the best way to recover during the first 4-weeks post-op. I started walking in the hospital the day after my surgery at a super slow pace. I even tried to 'track my walk' using my Nike+ID! Needless to say, it didn't register because I was moving too slow.
Walking is also great to 'wake-up' your intestines after surgery, too. I learned my fibroids were attached to internal parts and this has been the most challenging part of my recovery. I can't even begin to tell you how painful it is, so I won't, but I am walking through it.
I am still in awe by the amount of love, prayers, and thoughts that have come my way. I am one blessed woman, indeed!
