Had my final doctors appointment yesterday and was given the all clear- no more doctors for me! I can now start to increase my exercise and should not have any more problems.
I will move forward with my life from today.

Good luck with anyone who will be going through some kind of recovery. I will regually check to see if there are any blogs so always feel free to message me and i will try to support you down the journey of recovery.

The last 2 days I have been walking as normal, for 50min around my usual track which has felt great. I am feeling like I could push myself more but I have to remind myself that I am still recovering and until I see the specialist on the 30th I cant do anything more than the walking.
I really dont have any pain anymore, only if i sneeze to many times (had a sneeze attack yesterday). So I no longer feel like I am still recovering but I think my stomach muscles are still weak so there is still that risk of a hernia if i overdo it.

Its been just over 2 weeks since my surgery and am starting to feel like myself. The day I got out of hospital I was feeling better but could not cough or sneeze without doubling over in pain. I travelled strait to Glen Innes from the hospital and the trip was painful- had a pillow over my stomach to hold it steady and could not wear a seat belt. After one week I was walking better, felt like i could stand up strait finally but still got tired quickly. It has only been in the last few days that i have managed to sneeze without much pain, still get a slight twinge but can put up with that. The hard part is avoiding lifting, especially now that i am home, with a small child around lifting is unavoidable. Am trying to remember to bend at the knees and lift instead of using mystomach muscles which are still basically useless lol.
Tomorrow i will start walking in the mornings again which i am looking forward to, will take it easy so will only go for about 15min to start with.
I go back to the doctor on the 30th for my checkup, should be the last time i see him
so doing well, still a long road until back to complete normal but am getting there

Well its Sunday, today and tomorrow I need to get everything organised as on Tuesday I will be fasting and would like to concerve my enery so wont be doing much. I am nervouse about the surgery but am also excited about having my body back- forgotten what thats like! Its been 2 years almost since I fell pregnant so almost 2 years since I had my body all to myslef and working normally.
The thing I am most looking forward to in actually sleeping on my stomach again- strainge but thats what I want more than anything else. I used to sleep that way every night but stopped when pregnant and have not been able to do it with the stoma. So once I am healed i will get a great night sleep again
