Welcome Mehrsa

Do glad you joined and willing to share your recovery . That kind of support is so beneficial for people starting out . For some reason we have a lot of people lately who have had a total pelvic exenteration and having realistic guidance is invaluable. I will bookmark your thread !

Also pleased to hear you are recovering . Given the extensive nature of the surgery I am sure it’s been a very difficult year on top of covid .

Hope you are able to make some plans for this summer now ?

Take care ,

Court

Hi dear Court

Thank you for the reply and your kind words, it means so much

Actually past year was full of infections, hospital stays, medication, and lots of other stuff but recently I've been recovering well , it took me long time to accept the changes in my body and get used to them , still some problems with sitting and walking but beside this everything is okay

Due to having infections I'm afraid I'm not able to go for swimming but I have some plans to do some work outs to maybe get this body strong again
