Re: not coping

Hey @Eve7

It’s a tough recovery. I’m almost a week in and still sore and difficulty sleeping and moving about or just being comfortable in general. Feel pretty useless not being able to do much. Getting really bored too. I’ve been colouring in, crocheting watching tv and doing find a words but the novelty of being able to rest is wearing very thin now

Re: not coping

I am so sorry your recovery is difficult @outlander

Actually, I find that recovery is rarely quick and simple. It’s hard when you are normally so active.

Do you want to have a cuppa with me?

Hi hon @outlander

Sorry to hear things are a struggle.

It is hard when we expect recovery to go quicker then it is.

Be gentle with yourself 💜💜

Re: not coping

thanks @Eve7 for some reason the notification didt come through for your post

the sites are healing well at least. but its rather uncomfortable. most of the closures are within the groin area and upper inner thighs and bikini line so its quite uncomfortable and limiting atm.
im still off work for another couple of days but will see what the surgeon says tomorrow. hopefully she lets me start doing some night shifts as its minimal contact with people or anything thatll risk infection or bending etc.

a cup of tea would be lovley thank you

Re: not coping

thanks @Snowie hoping the surgeon will give the some clearance to work so at least i wont just be sitting around trying to find things to do. i feel so closed in at home no space and privacy even though i have my own room its still always crowded with people and people i dont want to be around so its hard
