Whooohoooo! Congratulations on the progress! I am with Jess, the mere thought of drains sends shivers down my back but you have certainly gone beyond that

Have fun! Careful fun, but fun

Can't wait to hear about your first ride.

Awesome! Happy back on the bike day! Congratulations!!!

Waiting to hear about your first post-surg. ride. And since you're half dressed already (what a great idea to use your jersey pockets), get on out there! But take it EASY.

You're always an inspiration

haven't made it back onto my bike yet, the bruising pain is making me a bit hesitant to put pressure on the area, as in leaning on the arms, but I have at least hit the gym 2x. Did an hour on the elliptical yesterday and was thoroughly depressed by the lack of cardio endurance, got the hr. up to 115 but felt totally wiped at the end. Did an alternate stride and step (super stair) machine today with minimal resistance and din't do much better. Sigh...

Looks like it's going to be a long hard climb back. Will try out the trainer tomorrow and see how my arms feel. The bruising and pain are going away ever so slowly. sigh...

I will hang in there, and I will get there, but it's enough to make one weep.

Hang in there, Marni! You will get there. Just take it a day at a time. You are doing wonderful.

Any surgery is like your body has been hit by a truck, no matter how minor.
I remember going out and walking on the school track about 5 days after my first son was born. I had lost a lot of blood during the delivery; so much that the pediatrician told me I looked like death! And I was shocked that a simple walk was making me dizzy. All I could think about was getting back in shape and losing weight. I went back to the gym after 2 weeks and made myself sick doing aerobics.
I learned my lesson. The body has a way of telling you when you need to go slowly.

Fantastic news!

You've been on my mind a lot lately. I'm so happy to hear your surgery went well and the recovery is underway. You're incredibly strong. Even with a slow return to your regular workouts, you'll get there. You're a rock star.
