Taking it slow

It’s happened twice now so I don’t think it’s a coincidence but any sort of physical exertion is wiping me out currently. Just over 10 days out from surgery now.

I’ve done a couple of walks now and both have ended with me feeling sick and like my insides have been juggled around. It’s odd as I feel absolutely fine before I start

Apart from that, the only other pain I still have is my right arm. It still looks and feels like it’s been through a mangle and I’d like to know exactly what was done to it during my operation to make it hurt so much. I’m still dosing up in pain meds because it hurts. A constant ache right in the centre of my forearm. If I twist or pull it then god help me it hurts!

Generally though I feel much better than I thought I would. I just want to get back to being able to walk without subsequent discomfort.

    Steve, mothers and mother’s in law agree on this, take it easy please🙂. Major surgery takes time to heal. Don’t expect miracles too soon. Xx

    Sometimes there is no logical reason.
    If your body is telling you that you are tired and need rest just listen and obey. (I say this as someone that was really fit and got knocked sideways by covid first time round.)
    Arm pain is likely from
    A really shittily botched arterial line insertion. It will take time but will heal.
