What is pain?

This isn't going to be as easy as I had thought :( I know it was going to be rough the first few weeks but you can't imagine how "rough" this kinda of pain is until you are living it. :(

To kinda of get and "idea" of the pain, think of constant pressure on the stomach and leg with the pain on knives staying in your body around your hip; if you move your knee your whole body hurts. your hands, shoulders, and arms are sore from laying in the same position 20 hours a day. Your heels hurt from having pressure on the bed but not moving. When you are walking if you try to move our hip when your foot is not ready, you have fire running up and down your leg and knives to join. but you can't put your foot on the floor the whole way because if you put too much weight on that foot your stomach/hip will have sharp pain lasting in you for a while. You can't cough, laugh or sneeze without grasping your stomach for relief.
Yeah this is just the beginning...
day 5 down...

Lord give me strength.

  2. Haha, I am texting you as I respond to this, but I know that it seems like one step forward and two back. I can remember that feeling from last year post op. It's such a frustrating thing but as Sabrina said, you will be better before you know it and can encourage us who will follow in your footsteps when it seems hopeless or too hard for us. We will be here for you in the best way we can for now and always you are in my prayers! xoxo
