Kari here. It’s been a little over 2 weeks since my surgery. Physically I feel like my movement has made a big shift since this past Monday. I can stand upright now, although I can still feel a bit up a pull in my abdomen, but that has definitely loosened up. My lower abdomen muscles spasm if I move too much so I’m trying balance the need to move my body and not over do it.  I don’t need to take much for  pain, just some Tylenol and muscle relaxers as needed. I’m pretty tired on and off though. I have been trying to sleep in when I can and take at least one nap a day. I’m not allowed to walk for exercise and if you know me I walk 40 minutes everyday. The tiredness and lack of movement has been hard on me. Sometimes it’s hard to know if this is depression or tiredness from my body trying to heal. 🤷🏻‍♀️. Whatever it is, I don’t always feel like my best self at times. I’m trying to work on acceptance and patience that this is all part of the process. Because of all the above, I’m taking another week off of work to rest and recover.
