I think I am turning what my doctor called "the corner". He said that at about 7-8 weeks at any point you could just start to feel like you can start to do things.
It feels so good to be "gettign back into life"!
I am not nearly up to what Lynette is, you are remarkable and a great inspiration, but I am able to help out some around the house, doing light house work,laundry,empty dishwaher,etc, even made dinner. Now that I can drive, I even have been able to get the kids to a doctor's appt yesterday and another today and ran an errand or two on Tuesday. As long as I can get my nap in it seems that I can handle an outing each day. We had a family outing for dinner to a Hibachi restaurant which I think was great for the kids.
There are still days that I am very worn out and just want to stay in and I let my body be the guide, but I know that is to be expected.
As for meds, my doctor has just taken me off Vicoden. I have very sensitive stomache and was getting very nauseous, but compared to what I see so many of the others going through I am thankful I just have to deal with this. The doctor has put me on Darvocet. It seems to be controlling the pain.
The forum group has been a great inspiration, everyone is so positive.
