2 weeks since surgery....

Today is exactly 2 weeks since I had surgery....at one point last week I didn't think I would feel as recovered as I do on day 14...you have to realize this is a slower process with multiple procedures...Because I feel the pull I am afraid at times to carry my purse, lifting the laptop is absolutely the max amount of weight I'm capable of lifting, the max. I can't scrub, run the vacuum or bend over except to squat. I am guarded with moving, I don't walk at a normal pace. I can't do distance, I have little stamina. YET... I feel like I am doing well. I can bathe and get myself ready alone but it takes about 2 hours. It normally takes me about 45 minutes for shower, hair and make-up. I just have to rest through it. I have skin treatments that take a bit longer than normal. I have to say I probably take a longer shower LOVING the feel of warm water on my skin, it doesn't hurt or burn and it just relaxes me, I have not soaked in a tub yet but I don't know if I should with my incision, that is something I'll ask the doc on Wednesday, I don't know if I SHOULD be in pool water or bath water at this point. All my steri-strips are removed now...

OK, so short update, tomorrow I might get Allie to take some more pics, just to document the pictorial progress...
