Not sure if you all still care, but...

It's been more than a month since my surgury! :woohoo:

I go back the 15th for x-rays, but...

All is fine! The scar is healing (we're using scar treatment), and there's one tinyyyyy spot where the drain was that's still scabbed-over.

I went to the mall on Friday for an hour and a half, and it was IN-SANE D: Yet, it was fun, and I was able to get around just fine.

Tutoring is going well, I'm getting all caught up.

But I'm no longer in any pain! And I can sit up without support!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Just thought I'd let y'all know that :teeth:

Oh...by the way...I'm still insomniatic. Anyone have any tips?
 
Hurray =DD
Good for you!

No tips on insomnia, but I'm really glad you're doing well, otherwise =)
 
its so great to hear you're doing better but i do not have any tips.

looking forward to seeing you around here again! :D :D :D :D :D
 

Yay Meg! :hug: I'm glad you're feeling better.
 
WOOT WOOT! That sounds AWESOME Meg! The drain scar still bothers be, because it's like this 9 inch long scar, then a dot. The OCD in me comes out, lol.

I went out Friday too, but only about 1/4 of the day did I have to use the wheelchair. We got an appointment for January to get my cortisone shot, so it better help!

As for the insomniac, I have no advice. I'm STILL an insomniac, and I've been off chemo for 8 months! Ambien helps, but it makes me feel like crap in the morning. Bath and Body Works "sleep" scents really do help make me tired though, maybe you could try those? Also, if you're not tired, do something. Go to sleep when your body says you are tired, not when the clock says you are tired.

Aww thanks Sonya! :hug: :hug: Glad to hear that you're better too!

See, the thing is, my body is saying "I'm tired", but my mind refuses to shut down. So I end up with a racing mind, and then the tossing/turning.

But you go girl! :hug:

Yay Meg! :hug: I'm glad you're feeling better.

Aww thanks Els. TEAM JAKE! :banana: :hug:

Yay Meggy Megs!!!!

Meg, that's how I was last night. I was so tired, we went to Walmart, Friendly's, Kohl's, and to pick out a Christmas Tree. Then I decorated the tree. My body was tired but my mind wouldn't let me sleep. I eventually fell asleep at 3 am. :headache:
 
ahh the dot, mine is still there and its been over two years lol


good to hear youre doing good!

ps; if you have any questions about recovery, PM me anytime.
