3 week post op back to work


December 6, 2018
Wednesday was my 3 week post op mark.  I started back to work part time on Monday.  Everyone welcomed me back with hugs and well wishes.  My team surprised me with flowers and a cute card.  Definitely brightened my 1st day back. 


This week I've had light spotting on and off.  Usually a light pink or brown color.  Work is going well and doesn't make me feel exhausted when I get home.  I'm still able to do a few chores after work and then I relax with some ice packs just in case.  This morning I passed my first dissolving stitch.  I saw it on the piece of toilet paper.  It looked like a mini lasso rope.  I'm hoping that's a sign I am healing well.  I go for my 4 week check up on Tues. 
The past few days I've gotten a few sharp tinges in my lower abs.  Not painful just a little achy.  Maybe because my stitches are starting to dissolve.  I'm feeling better and better each day.  I'm walking up to 2.25 miles at a time.  I'm going to try for 3 miles this weekend as long as my body feels good.  My foot and leg are also getting better each day.  I feel like I'm getting back more feeling.  I woke up the other night and realized I was sleeping on my belly.  First time since before my surgery and it wasn't uncomfortable.    I also noticed it no longer hurts to go over bumps while driving in a car.  Each week gets better and better.
