Prickles my neighbour in UK had a big op and he felt the same as you. I told him it's a gradual process.

Listen to your body - sleep when you want to and don't try to do too much at once.

I have had 2 ops and I was much wiser the 2nd time around. Each day I worked out what I really needed to do and I took all day to do it - not all as soon as I got up and was shattered the rest of the day. I recovered much quicker after the second op because I took care not to do too much.

You'll soon find yourself with a little more energy everyday. Be patient and good to yourself. Treat yourself you've been through the mill.

Can't find a decent recording of this just read the lyrics

You will delay your healing if you try to push yourself too soon

Your body is telling you what you can do so listen to what it's saying <3

Our minds say come on get up and go as things need doing but your body needs to heal slowly

Take care <3

It takes time to recover from an operation, don't rush it!!

Even the anaesthetic can take a long time to get out of your body ........... some people don't feel back to normal for as long as a year, that included me after I'd had each of the mastectomies. Those were probably not as serious as what you had had done.

Don't push it. Your attention span will gradually improve. You'll be back to chasing those elusive rellies for other people soon. xxx

Hi Prickles, hope your holly is not withering :-D :-D

So sorry to read that you have been laid up and really hope your on the mend and will soon be well again.

Hi Prickles, do just follow what your body is telling you, enjoy the opportunity to sleep the day away/do nothing without feeling guilty. And don't worry about your passion for helping people with look ups there will still be some when you feel up to it.

Goodness hello Foggy good to see you.

<3 <3 <3 :-) :-D

We have been worried about you PEE H <3 <3 :-)

You take thing easy and get well soon.

GEEE PEEE

Take care Prickles....time is a healer.

Again.......

Thank you all so very much for all your lovely and encouraging messages.

I have honestly taken on board all the great advice i have been given on here....thank you.

Some good news.........I haven't lost any more weight. :-D

Some bad news...........I can't be doing with wearing knickers! :-0

Today was quite a good day. I have been........

Busy doin' nothin'
Workin' the whole day through
Tryin' to find lots of things not to do
Busy goin' nowhere
Isn't it just a crime
I'd like to beeeee unhappy, but
I never do have the time!

Prickles..........with a positive, mental attitude!

<3 :-D <3

Good to see you on here Ph. Well if you can't don't. Or maybe a different style?

Just continue doing nothing and you will get there. Do you have company occasionally to stop the boredom?

No knickers whatever will the Vicar say :-0 :-0 :-0

Get well soon our special friend <3 <3 <3

Hi McP :-D <3

Did you enjoy your outing....did ya...did ya <3

PH have you tried METATONE ? it's a good pick me up <3 <3

Good evening all you lovely people.

Appologies for not taking the time to answer all of your questions.

Another quite good day today. The sun popped out this afternoon and i had a lovely, gentle mooch around the garden, doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

McEmma.........

I was sooo excited to go on my outing.

The friend who took me is a really fun person. I had to warn her before we left that....if she even thought about giving me belly laugh, i wouldn't allow her to take me out ever, ever again!! :-D

We had a lovely potter around the garden centre on Thursday afternoon for about an hour and then popped into the cafe for a cream tea.

Not long after i arrived home, i felt very sore and uncomfortable. My tummy became more swollen and much more inflamed. The same thing happened after i arrived home from my hospital appointment on Tuesday.

That is when i knew that i so can't be doing with wearing knickers......or anything that puts pressure on my tum.

What i need to do is buy some new knickers that sit nicely under my Michael Booblies.

Oh no........hang on.......Since i have lost weight, my Michael Booblies reach down to my belly button anyway.

Buggah! I am gonna have to re-think that one.

I am thinking huge knickers that go up and over........or perhaps a mankini?

I can't cope. :-S

David......i will look into your suggestion about Metatone.

<3 :-D <3

I will get Fly to knit you some Prickles, any colour preference :-D :-D :-D :-D

What a bally good idea Ann.

Lime green iffen you don't mind.

:-D <3
