Walking and Talking - Recovery Day 3

"I would rather have a conversation with a really good long-time friend and just belly laughing at stories that we went through or inside jokes that we had. Those are the things that I will literally bust a gut laughing over. So of course, I'm not inviting all my friends over." — Emily, 3 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day

In This Episode:

It's Day 3 and I'm feeling significantly better again this morning! Once again, it's feeling like a giant ab workout.
It feels like there's some organ shifting going on and I'm considering getting a compression binder. (I did end up getting it and I'm glad I did!)
"So much room for activities!" - My organs since the hysterectomy, probably.
I'm finding out what I thought would be comfortable to wear post-surgery vs. what I actually wanted to wear are very different. No to leggings, yes to empire waist dresses. Hell yes to Project Runway Season 16 Contestant Kentaro's Fake Leggings that I want for my oversized blanket hoodies!
Today's tangent is talking about the thigh burns from tights, ooof!
It's weird listening to me try to justify my Amazon purchases, to be honest. I haven't shopped there in months, as of this recording. Bezos has enough of my money. Maybe that's another upside of not having chronic pain is I don't mind going out and shopping for the things I need now.
I'm also looking at getting a walking treadmill. I ended up getting a Urevo and still use it more than a year later :)
Hannah Gadsby's "Douglas" is fantastic, especially her bits about autism. Standup comedy normally doesn't make me belly laugh, so I didn't worry too much about hurting my mid-section. But if you're looking for post-surgery entertainment, stay away from the stuff that'll have you grabbing your stomach even more!
We talk a little about the importance of talking about our struggles and stories in order to normalize and take away the stigma of conditions that make it difficult to live a full and happy life.
I'm glad I can get back to my vitamins and supplements, especially when I noticed the difference in my ADHD.
Get your sunlight, friends! Vitamin D, especially in the colder, darker seasons, is hard to come by!

Note from Future-Emily:

Oh my goodness, I find this so funny how I was convinced I would feel like this for the rest of my life. The shifting organs thing lasted a while, but now that I'm a year out as I write this, everything seems to be set in place fine now :)
