5 days out

Aug 17, 2010

Well, I am back home recovering slower than I would like. I had an abscess in my fatty tissue that subsequently got an infection. So, I am still struggling with walking and sitting up. I am able to walk more and more each day without the aid of pain meds, but just walking around the house is a chore. I haven't made it to walking outside yet. I read some people's post on here and they talk about walking a mile by now and I know that you are not supposed to compare your journey with that of others but I can't help to think "how in the hell were they able to do that?" I am also having a hard time getting in all my fluids. I have started a journal so that I can keep up with just how much fluids I am getting. The gas is crazy and painful. But all in all, I do not have any regrets. I know that while it may not be happening as fast as I would like, I will recover. I will be able to resume my walks through the neighborhood. I will get back to work. And the pain will subside. I just have to be patient.
