RE: tiredness/ swelling/ walking

[Guest guest]

Hy Cheryl,

Were you also in Gent the second of June, or did you had your surface done

somewhere else?

Glad to hear (from more people too) that the energy issue is such a common

thing.

However I will start with Iron pills, Vitamine C and change my diet.

Untill yesterday I was also hounted by a very awful pain in my back only

when I was trying to get some sleep. Aparantly this is caused by the years I

have been walking around with a stiff hip. It'll take at least a couple of

months to get my back flexible again, does anyone had to deal with the same

problem. I said untill yesterday because it seems to be better allready.

Also, I think it will be a good idea to start exercising in a swimming pool.

After how many weeks (With attention to the healing of the stitches) should

it be possible to start in the pool?

With regards, Mijke

Is it normal to want to sleep for a good part of the day following

surgery. I am 9 days post op and seem o be needing more and more

sleep. I did have two blood transfusions in hospital and am taking

iron tablets so hopefully isnt amaemia any more??? Yesterday i slept

for about sixteen hours ???

Also do any of you experienced hippies have any tips for swelling.

It is improving but I lok like I am growing an alien on one hip?

The other thing is how far should I be walking for each day. The

staff at the hospital are very vague and say listen to your body,

take it easy, don't push it. But lots of posts on message board tell

of people doing lots more than me???

Any tips will be great.

Thank you Cheryl xx

Normal to need more sleep.

Try arnica for swelling. Thought it was homeopathic mumbo jumbo but

couple of patients really had good results.
