Hi Sara :)

I\'m jealous of your bike ride across FL!  It\'s been so hard no to be out riding.  I stare longingly at my bike and am counting the days down to my next ride :)  I asked my PS about riding the trainer and it was a no go...only walking :(

How was your transition back to the bike after being off for a couple of weeks?  I wondering what my endurance will be once I start riding again.---

Happy New Year!  I had mine 12/12 and tried going back to work last Wed for a few hours a day.  Totally wiped me out!  I have been laying around most of the weekend and will try again tomorrow to do half day.  Try to ease into it.  I am going to get seroma drained on Thurs.  It definitely gets worse being on my feet more, so try to stay off as much as possible.  Good luck!---

Happy New Year! I think I will take these three workdays really slow. Stay off my feet as much as I can. Maybe take a half day on Friday.

I don\'t go back to PS until 6 weeks. I saw him this past on yesterday and gave me a good report but suggested I resume my regular activity slowly. Listen to what my body says.

Sounds like I should be moisturizing around my incision more......you girls seem to have less itchees than me. I will use the Palmers cocoa cream. I remember it helped so much after my c section and it has vitamin e in it.

Off to work tomorrow and I will let you girls know how I did!

Peace and blessings to you girls in the new year!

Jen --
My first bike ride was a little bit shakey -- only that I could feel this \'tightness\' across the tummy.  Not really pain.  I was surprised though that the strength was still there and I was rolling along good.  Not at top speed, but just so enjoyed being back on that bike! On the first ride out I didn\'t do any major hill climbing, pretty much stayed on the flats.  This past week, during the week between 5th and 6th week post-op -- it was full blast ahead, and hill climbing was fine.  Still I can\'t say I\'m quite as strong as the day before my surgery on that ride!  But almost there.  On yesterday\'s ride, I remember thinking to myself, gee I do not even feel like I\'ve had abdominal surgery, I can\'t even feel any tightness, pulling or anything.  Leaning forward a little on a road bike, that position feels very comfortable.  

I\'m surprised your doc won\'t let you go on a trainer indoors yet!  I would think this week you could do that.  There is no impact with that, and you won\'t be in danger of having to watch what is going on around you . . .
But very soon, you too will be back into all these fun activities and exercising like you always had!  I thought it was never going to come... and I hated waiting for these days so I could get back into it.  

I did a little bit more \'running\' today -- like 2.5 blocks down the street.  Not far, but still it is a start.  I just want to take the running thing VERY slow for some time yet.  

It is snowing and blowing like crazy here tonight -- only 21 degrees.  Won\'t be out there on that bike tomorrow.  Can\'t wait for Florida and WARM weather!---
