Everything is starting to settle in a little more. I have about 2 more weeks until the big day. I received my patient instruction sheet in the mail today. It listed things not to do after surgery such as: no running, no vigorous exercise(duh J ) , no lifting anything over 20lbs(Addison L ) for 4 weeks. No traveling on airplanes, no blowing my nose or sneezing with my mouth closed (Hummm). I cannot swim for my entire recovery (bummer, guess I will just have to get a nice tan, sitting by the pool J )
I will have the staples/stitches removed in about 10 days or so after the surgery.
I will experience dizziness and balance problems after surgery, and should improve as activity increases and becomes more normal. I have to have someone with me for the first few days of recovery at all times, in case of excessive dizziness and nausea.
Other then that nothing has really changed. I have had some really dizzy days, and other days are as normal as ever. I am just trying to stay strong and take it one day at a time. I honestly believe the power of prayer is keeping me going so very strong every day. God has his plan for me and I believe he will continue to hold me tight during this trying time for our lives. Thanks again for everyone’s support, hope and prayer, its is the most amazing uplifting feeling!
