Yep, me, again! Seems I'm over doing it with the walking. My home care nurse gave me hell for going for a wonderful 10k walk the other day. She said I'll never heal if I keep that up. I still have a growing separation between my stoma and my skin that just won't close, not to mention a quarter size hole on my incision that is taking forever to close. But for the past year, all I've done is sit at home, and now that the weather is finally getting nice, I'm absolutely dying to be outside (I hate being I side on a sunny day, it's torture), so I need to figure out, how much is too much? Dr Cohen told me to exercise as much as possible, I have only 7 weeks until I'm suppose to return to work, so, what would you advise? I do love opening the windows and the sunroof, and going for a nice drive, but I get no exercise doing that. How did you recover from your surgery, and how long did it take before you were back to your usual pace? I'm just past 3 weeks post op now, so perhaps I'm pushing my luck, but I just hate sitting still now that I finally, after over a year, of being sick, that I have the energy to go out, please advise, thanks!
Cheers,
Eric
