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!

Great to know that you are doing well. Keep up the good work. You will have your energy back and be back to riding in no time. Then the whole thing will be behind you and you will feel great.
I had to chuckle a little thinking about the fact that this would be one time that a girl wouldn't care who was around if she need to fart.

Ouch, that all sounds so familiar. Well I remember the day I was allowed more than a sip of clear liquid. The doctor on rounds in the morning said I could have up to 500ml. "You mean I can have a pint?" I asked, implying beer. The "great white flock" on rounds laughed, and so did I ... which I immediately regretted. Laughing was NOT a good idea with fresh stitches and an incision from breast bone to pubic bone. But recovery went apace from there. And once I was home the pace picked up, as in walking to the store with breathers (sat down on neighbors' retainer walls) en route, then fewer breather stops, then all the way there and back and make dinner without needing a nap. Then longer walks, then hikes, and so on and so on. Walking is good. Keep it up. Sounds like you're doing well!
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

Prrrrrrrrrt!
Soooo glad you're on the mend!!!
Slight hijack alert: I had a little laugh too at the "passing gas" portion of your surgery. I had a colonoscopy a couple of years ago, and they also wouldn't let me loose until I made wind. They wouldn't let me (and other patients) get out of bed until the chuckle-juice (anesthetic) had left our system. Try to imagine half a dozen whacked-out patients desperately grunting and groaning trying (and succeeding) to make the doctors happy. Like a symphony of tubas....
Hope you're back on your bike soon!

I can't believe you went to Costco! That's hard enough even without any surgery recovery issues! Good for you. I hope you continue to feel better.
That hospital bed moving thing - OMG the same thing happened with my hospital bed this summer. It was as if it was receiving secret messages from someplace and kept adjusting itself slightly up or down - even though the little controller thing wasn't being touched! Super annoying!!Sarah

Welcome back Pam!
Take is slow and steady. It feels wonderful to be home, does it not? I spent 5 months on hospital bedrest and I was so happy to see my own bed again.
Keep us posted, but above all rest. Your body has been through a lot. My continued prayers for a rapid healing.Jennifer
