...from major abdominal surgery!
Today is day 10 of my recovery after my hysterectomy. I am -almost- up to the functionality that I had before my surgery. This is absolutely amazing to me.
Mainly... it shows me that things were getting really bad before my surgery. I'm doing things like sweeping the floor, which I wasn't able to do before because I was in too much pain. I can actually fold laundry without becoming so exhausted that I need a nap! (Well... I take one anyway because I'm still recovering from surgery... but I don't feel like I need one anymore.)
I can wash my dishes!
I can shower without having to sit on the floor! (Yeah... Let me tell ya'... -that- was when I knew I needed to do something.)
I can cook a small meal! (I'll work up to the big ones again... I'm only 10 days out of my surgery after all.)
I know that my recovery is awesome... and I won't be fully healed for another 6 months or so. So this is just the beginning!!!
No more pain. No more nagging exhaustion. No more severe blood loss every month. No more miscarriages. No more threat of cancer.
Now... I heal.
