Outings less than a week after surgery? You're doing so well! Take it easy, you'll be back on your bike in no time!
Several years ago, after abdominal surgery and a 5 day hospital stay very similar to yours, I did a hilly metric century at 10 weeks post-op. I know 10 weeks sounds like a lot now, but for many weeks to come you'll know exactly how many weeks and days post-op you are without even counting, and the weeks will pass quickly. You'll be good as new - no, even better - very soon.

so glad you're doing ok. hang in there. the bike rides will eventually be back on the agenda i'm sure. you made me laugh when you said the couch was stationery
i'm sure it wasnt funny at the time, but it did sound funny in a relieved sort of way

Wow Pam out and about already. Glad to hear you are on the mend. Get plenty of rest and you will be out on the bike before you know it.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Good to hear from you, Pam. Rest and recover and take things slowly.

Great to hear from you! I felt for you after recently watching my Dad have a colon surgery and my husband land in the hospital for 6 days with suspected Crohn's. I had to laugh about the gas because my husband was so relieved to finally have a bowel movement. The things you can admit to being happy about when you are recovering!
