Guest guest Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hi Pamela, Sounds like you are doing great!! Things are going much better with me as well... I haven't been around the past couple days because I've been busy trying to rejoin the human race. Uh!! I know what you mean about tired- you put my thoughts into words exactly. These days have felt like 12 hour days. Most of my obvious swelling is gone along with practically all the bruising- so if it isn't outwardly obvious, I think some people forget that I'm still recovering from surgery! I'm not even two weeks out yet! It is nice to start feeling human again. I do except for when I try to talk! Then the cover is blown! That is great about the eating! Must definitely make you feel better. I don't think I'll be so happily surprised. We are working up on my bands... I came out of surgery with just the splint and now I have tow bands... a heavy duty one on each side, with more to come in the future promised. Uhg. I'm glad you are doing so well.... do you have numbness anywhere? Which surgery did you have? Keep us all posted as to your progress!! OH! I meant to ask you, Pamela.... how did your court appearance go? Did you out do Bob in our recovery competition??!!! I've been waiting to hear how that went! I am still lagging behind.... no car washing or court appearances.... Take care, Katja > > Hi everyone, > > I saw my surgeon today for my two-week post-op visit. Everything > seems to be going well.
