I'm planning to spend that first couple of weeks healing. The only things I have planned are to read books, do creative writing if I have the energy, walk and spend time with my Sweetie - whose taking the nentire week off next week to take care of me.</p> <p>Thanks for the tip about the pillows. I was wondering how moving into and out of different positions would b - was guessing it would be excruciating! :p </p> <p>I'll also be able to entertain myself reading Angie's top NAS picks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surgery-tomorrow#post-1699310 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 21:33:21 +0000 catgirl 1699310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, hope all goes well! I have tons of advice but the biggest is to spend the first two weeks completely resting/sleeping, walking and eating superfoods and drinking a ton of water with fresh lemon. Use lots of pillows in bed as getting up and down can be excruciating at first. Set up your area to have all you need in easy reach (water, remote, cowbell). You will be exhausted at first - I didn't shower for three days because it was too tiring. After the first week it all improved rapidly. </p> <p>My doctor was stunned at how well I was two weeks in, but it's because I really did nothing but heal. Good luck - enjoy the time to catch up on books and TV. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surgery-tomorrow#post-1699303 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 21:21:40 +0000 Jane 1699303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thinking of you Robin, take care. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surgery-tomorrow#post-1699300 Thu, 21 Jul 2016 21:20:12 +0000 rachylou 1699300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just think how good your complexion will look afterwards.
