This month has been so challenging. I hope the photos show up.

The emergency surgery turned the best made plans into well, rather abruptly

revised plans.

The TUMOR and my UTERUS are now a BIOHAZARD !!!

YIKES.

Fast forward into immediate HOT FLASHES !!! Yikes.

The doctor early on said my lungs were collapsing, so instead of him letting me

rest 6 weeks doing gentle walking to recover, I was RUSHED INTO DOING MORE

CARDIO.

Otherwise they were threatening to put me back into the hospital. NO WAY !!!

Was I going back to that hell house that nearly caused my death. Never, ever

again I pray.

My first couple of days were filled with walking up and down the hallway of my

home, marching in place in the bedroom, and pacing as ordered. By week's end, I

was getting sicker from " NOT ENOUGH EXERCISE " Can you believe it. My guts were

ripped out and I wasn't doing enough. SAY THAT AGAIN ???

By day 6 post op, I was doing Sansone's 2 mile workout. It was only by

SHEER DETERMINATION THAT I DID THE WORKOUT. It was so painful, but it did help

decrease some of the abdominal bloating a bit. By the time the first week was

over I had put on during the last two days 7.5 miles.

OUCH, I could feel every stitch pulling, aching, burning. . . OUCH !!! I also

marched in place every hour to get in 1000 steps per hour.

The next week I managed to do a combination of Sansone, Classical

Stretch, marching in place and walking in the house with my pedometer to a total

of 35,657 steps or 17.82 miles.

This week my total steps is 57,394 which equals 28.69 miles. Now not all my

walking was counted as I didn't always have the pedometer charged up. I wear

the bodymedia calorie counter, pedometer, activity monitor. The last few days I

have been doing some step aerobics vhs tapes from the prehistoric days. They

are gentler than the modern ones.

I found a coupon online that makes it affordable to transfer my vintage vhs

tapes to dvd !!!

So far this month I have walked 74.46 miles. That does not account for the many

days I did not wear the pedometer.

New WALKING RECORDS WERE SET !!! Even with having my guts cut out. I honestly

wanted to rest for the 6 weeks like most people get. Dr.'s orders made me

workout harder than anticipated.

My abs area is still swollen, distended, tender, and painful at times. Overall

the pain is decreasing, but is not gone. Last night was tough though and I

don't have pain meds that work for me. The last batch of stuff was too strong

and I refuse to go back to the surgeon after his treatment of me.

I press on working out as ordered.

What an intense month!! You really had some tough things to deal with. I truly hope the worst is over. I hope you continue to heal, and that things continue to become easier.
