My Post Operative appointment went well. My doctor was very pleased with healing of my incisions and his exam proved all is normal for this two week stage. I have been released to work Part Time on the 24th. Doctor asked me to remember that I had major surgery...(think he knows a thing or two about me???)...he said that though I am up and about, doing well at recovery, don't overdue it. It takes a full 6 weeks to recover.
Gotcha. I am trying. Promise.
I then went and saw my Allergist. He gave me my flu shot, an antibiotic shot and an oral antibiotic for an ugly sinus infection. Yup, that's what extreme allergies with no let up do to you, they infect you.
I then went to the lab to get lab work drawn for a two week check up on hormone levels since surgery. This will be repeated in four weeks so that we are making sure we are staying on track as my body adjusts to an all new range of hormones.
For now, extreme night sweats beyond what I thought were bad ones before and cold feet are all part of the adjustments. Don't you want to be me? Hey...I can't complain...or should I say, I won't complain. One of my major symptoms has not been apart of the picture since I had surgery and I didn't touch the corner of His Robe but believe me, it feels like it!!!
Hopefully I won't feel like crud too much longer and I can continue to improve!!!

14 days since surgery!
Today marks 14 days since surgery!
I get to drive again!!! You might think that crazy, but as one who totally fends for herself, not getting to go anywhere unless a friends cab came and got me...ugh, yah, that was kinda strange. Sitting in the passenger side of the car, yah, a totally weird feeling, like I was lopsided or something. Okay, I have been in that position before, but not that frequently and not in many years!
Today I will have my post operative appointment for clearance to return to work on the 24th, if doctor see's fit and agrees with original plan. I then will be to see my allergist, originally the appointment was to get approval for my next round of new vials for shots and get a flu shot, but it is looking like I am going to need allergy attention in a whole different way today. The congestion in my head won't let up and its been 6 days as of today. Enough.
Regardless, I am looking forward to my day!
