Life is like a 10 speed bike, we all have gears we never use.

Hysterectomy recovery--update
Hi ladies!
Lots of you offered well wishes, which I was grateful for, so I wanted to update you. Surgery was Monday a week ago. Took a bit longer than usual because Doc was determined to stay with laproscopy if she could, rather than go in, and good for her, she did it.
Came home last Tuesday afternoon, and, long story short, I'm feeling so much better than I anticipated feeling at this point. Nowhere near ready to get on my bike, but I'm moving around, walking a bit, but mostly taking it easy and pampering myself. Feels weird. I'm so used to multi-tasking at home and work (singlel mom of 2, ages 17 and 20). But it's a good thing and I remain positive about the fact that I'm taking good care of myself. Yay!
Weather has been chilly and damp and not good for riding anyway, so yes, this weekend, if I'm feeling some energy, I'll sit on a footstool and pamper the bike with some cleaning and checking parts.
Let's hope spring gets here soon!
Thanks,
SWB

Wow... You're handling it bravely! Good for you... Just think, it would have been much worse in the middle of the season, say May or June. This way it might delay the start of the bike season for you, but it will feel all that much sweeter when you are ready to ride.
Continue healing well and taking good care of yourself!My bike:Slideshow at Picasaweb

At those ages, they should be helping take care of you. My daughter was 10 at the time and she got a big kick out of taking care of me and ordering me to take it easy. For a few days, anyway. Originally Posted by shewhobikes

SWB - I am glad it is all over and you are well on the road to recovery! The hard part is over - now heal and get back on the bike after the weather breaks!
