Hi. I just thought I’d update as to where I am. My previous posts were a bit grim after the operation, but I got tremendous support so I thought I tell you the good news. I’m 8 weeks out from the surgery and feeling, for the first time in along while that things are improving. I can sat for a couple of hours, such a joy! I’m walking, not yet driving but looking forward to that in the next week or so. I just want to encourage anyone who is feeling down that things do get better and life does return, if not exactly to ‘normal’ to a new normal which is as good if not better because the pesky cancer is gone. Take care all. X
Hi Elijahs nana
It’s really good to read such a positive post, and I’m sure it will be encouraging for others to read you’re doing well.
Although I had a different surgery and it took a long time to recover, I felt that I turned a corner about 8 weeks after my surgery too. It was especially good to be able to sit comfortably again, so I can identify with that!
I hope you’re managing ok with your stoma now-it helps when that settles down and managing it becomes more straightforward.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
