Hi to everyone....I hope you are all feeling a little better than yesterday and thinking positive.....Positive mind means a good recovery of the body.....I know it's hard sometimes...but YOU can do it.......

I have today ventured out to play.....I am in my 4th week of post op....I walked to some shops 2 miles away and then walked home....I had no heart pains and loved being out in the fresh air......I walked very slowly at my own pace....Even a car had to wait for me...at least my carer stood there with his hand up to stop it.....lol.....I got back home free of and heart pain....However i have had like a very bad stich in my lower left ribs....If your a female it feels like a baby is constantly kicking your ribs....We all know that hurts sometimes....Anyway this is what i have been getting....I did take some painkillers before leaving the house......Tonight i feel pretty exhausted and aim to have a few relaxing days now......I am positive this time the bypass has taken as i do feel better for it......I have an appointment with re-hab on the 2nd November and a meeting with my surgeon on the 10th November.....I hope it's all positive news....The only winge i have is my keliod...it hurts when i wear my bra....I am quite a busty female so need the support.....The doctor has given me some benovate cream so i put that on 3 times per day.....Hopefully it will flatten it out for me....Bio oil is very good for scars as disscussed before but not for keliods.....Anyway i thought i would keep you posted.....Oh my new pic was taken today 28th October before going out....I feel that i am finaly at peace with myself now.......This will aid my recovery and think it is better than any pill with horrid side effects.....
Take care all....Dont forget small steps your pace...x
