Post surgery updates...

Thank you for all the sweet comments regarding my surgery. It helped knowing that I had friends and family praying and thinking of me on Friday.

I've spent the last few days resting, trying to move carefully and staying on top of my pain medication. You don't realize how much you use those stomach muscles until you've felt like a herd of elephants had a dance party on them. 

Speaking of dances, Emma attended a winter dance at her high school Saturday evening. Doesn't she look fabulous!
I'm sure I'll be spending this afternoon doing some blog hopping. Cheers to feeling a bit more human. There's definitely something very healing about a warm cat cuddled up next to me on the footstool.

 Let the healing begin!

Emma looks so grownup. She is really a pretty girl.
Glad that the surgery is over and you are resting.
I was always in such a hurry to get better after I would have surgery. When looking back I would wish that I hadn't. So my advice is to take it easy for as long as possible.
((((HUGS))))

I know it won't be long until you are back on your feet. Just take it real easy now. I had emergency appendectomy several years ago and it took a little while to get back up to speed. I know that you have plenty of little helpers around the house that will help you recover faster, even kitty ones :) So glad to see you blogging! Take care, Holly

Donna said...

Glad all went well with your surgery, Kim! Try holding a small pillow over your tummy when you get up from a chair or bed, it really help! Emma looks beautiful!!

Kim,
I am so sorry that I missed you were having surgery and now I am glad to hear that it went well and you are home recuperating.
Abdominal surgery is rough. I had 4 abdominal hernias repaired and a mess system put in and I had to sleep on the sofa for over a month because i could not get up from a flat position by myself!!
And God forbid you laugh.... Joe had brought home a funny movie and I thought I burst all my sutures so we had to wait and watch it about a month later!! LOL!!
Get well soon my friend!!
Hugs,
Deb

Take it easy so you can enjoy spring that will surely be here one of these days. I have a pair of size 9 woman's ice skates that I used in my much younger days. They are like brand new would and I would like to send them to you (no $$$) just because I would like to see someone get some good out of them. If you are interested let me know.
