Tonya/Re: Hey all, question

[Guest guest]

Tonya,

My first outing was my 1 week post op visit to the OS. After that he

informed me that he wanted me to start getting out for at least little

short trips to the mall etc. It was difficult at first because I would

tire out after only 30 minutes in the mall and my kids would get so

upset with me because we would have to go home. I did manage a movie at

8 days post op with the family.

I was a slight bit anemic pre & post op which I am sure had something to

do with my lack of energy. I was told a week before surgery that I was

borderline anemic when I donated my blood.

Hope this helps,
