The weather is cold and wet, I am bored and frustrated, tummy is acting up and I have a sick head.
Having got that out of the way, I am doing OK. Tummys normally act up after gallbladder removal and of course a long term impact of colon resection is instability there. Immodium is my friend. Only pain killer now is panadol, today not feeling pain while static and I expect to start to slowly cut back on panadol tomorrow.
The surgical staples are still in, research suggested 10-14 days to come out, likely they will be out tomorrow.
I have put together a recovery calendar, it is an indicative target only and shows me back at work from 21st of this month. At this stage I really don't know if this is realistic, but I have milestones along the way, if I meet them I should make the target for back to work.
I really appreciate the fantastic support and encouragement I am getting from family, friends, workmates and people I have never met. It give a nice, warm and very humble feeling.
