Julez,
Glad to hear you are out of the hospital. How scary! You were in for a long time. Must have been a serious infection. Take it easy with everything you do and if you can stay out of work, do so. I went back to work too soon and regreted it. It was very hard on my body.

Welcome back to the fourm. I am so sorry to hear about your infection! You must have been scared!

Julez, like Dale said, because you feel better and stronger, work is really tough on your body, even with a sit down job. Be kind to yourself and take care of YOU. I hope you'll keep us posted on how you're progressing.

Congratulations!

You will no doubt have some minor set backs as most of us did but I promise you it will all be worth it. Listen to your body and your Doc they won't steer you wrong.

I agree with you all 100%.Ive been laying low and taking care of me.Its hard with 2 little ones at home but I do the least amout as possible.Its kind of weird I lost 30lbs in the first 4weeks and cannot see it much due to the bandages ect...I have so many mixed emotions right now.Being sick I dont want to lose to fast,but that was the point of having the surgery to begin with.Man so much to deal with.But Im feeling better and in the long run I know it will be all worth it.When I go to vegas in 6mo I look good!!!!! Hehehehehe....

Julez,

Welcome back. Guess you were in the hospital when I had my surgery on the 5th of October. Sure hope you feel better soon. I am already back at work and what they say is right, if you can stay out DO IT. I am single and couldn't go without the income (nasty old bills), but working is wearing me out! I am getting lots of exercise here though, I work on the 2nd floor, the bathroom is on the first!
