Today I went to my first check-up after this second surgery. It was Connie Nebelong that took care of me but since she is leaving her job she had the new nurse with her in order to hand-over some experience. Connie has been there since 1998 so I guess it is time to look for new challenges. I hope this new one, Anna was her name I think, will be good. The main event today was to remove the catheter and that is not very nice at all. Really it isn´t. Anyway, she thought everything looked nice and that was really good to hear. I still have some issues sitting straight up so I am not really sure when I can go back to work. I will try on Monday but I am not sure. I spend my first hour each day sitting in my sweet little car and this not nice if you have a sore bum. So I guess I will take it gradually. Next stop at the hospital is around two weeks away to remove some stitches.
From these past experiences I have really learned to appreciate having a healthy physical body. Rather small things can really make your daily life complicated. Another thing that amazes me is the healing ability of my body. Even after just a week so much have happened to the wound.
