checking in
Hi and thank you for all of the words of wisdom. I haven't been online much as I'm starting to work again and have to be so careful of computer time.
Everyone had so many valid things that really have helped me. I realize I need to fill out the forms as to my surgery progress. It's now about five months and in a way it feels like yesterday.
The hardest part is not pushing it. You feel good, you want to do things, you get excited.....
Even on my worst days I never regret having the surgery. I am just so antsy to get going again and I have to drill it in my head that my recovery is paramount to everything else.
Thanks everyone for their wisdom and kindness.
