Pictures upload / News update

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Again, I've uploaded some more pictures this afternoon. I do this

every two days.

And, before Dammit says otherwise, no, I'm not trying to find a match

here... LOL !!!!! (side note: It was a very good one Dammit!!)

I do this because it's encouraging to see the swelling going

down. It helps to know things will get better, when the going gets tough..

I've visited my generalist this morning. He's amazed and pleased at how

good I look! And he agrees with my surgeon, as to the fact that I'm

healing particularly fast. I'm thrilled!! Now, let's see.. bunjee anyone?

He had a look at my lower abdomen, for the constant and accute pain

I had since the surgery. That came as a certain form of relief,

it's not an hernia!! However, it's as painful as one, believe me. I've

managed to tear a muscle on about 6 or 7 cm (3 inches) long. He said

he could feel, with his fingers, where the scar is. But, just to make sure

it's not an infection, he ordered tests at the hospital (lucky me, the

hospital is just in front of the clinic). I'll have the results in 10 days.

He said that when a catheter is inserted to retrieve urine, it sometimes

provokes an infection. He doesn't believe it's my case since he could

feel the scar on my muscle.

For those asking about how soon to get on sports and exercising again

after the surgery, here's my little experience.. Yesterday, after the visit to

the surgeon, we went shopping. Shopping like visiting two stores, 50

feet apart each other. Spending like an hour, walking verrrrry slowly.

When I came home, I felt asleep instantly.

This morning, I went to the doctor, and then to the hospital. In all, I have

walked like 45 minutes. When I came here, I was again exhausted and

very hungry. Now, I'm not the most in shape guy there is, but I'm not

lazy as well. I could walk for hours (4) before the surgery, do some

bicycle, run a little, use the stairs (instead of the elevators), etc.

All this to say, if you're planning on doing your regular exercises a few

days after the surgery, consider a PlayStation or GameCube as the only

sport you'll be doing for a while ;-)

Ray, Ray, Ray,

Now would I say anything about you trolling for love on a forum like

this??? Well, OK, I would, but... LOL

Congratulations on the healing. Now, give up your man license for

going shopping!
