UMV107 - Trying to find the right balance..

  • It's been a week of trying to find the right balance. We've been going a little stir crazy staying in one place as log as we have and i'm sure John has it worse than I do considering I had a 2 week jolly in the hospital.
    We decided to go out for the day to Falmouth (and typically didn't record much) as its close by, has decent parking, is flat and has good eateries but even that was a little much and I could tell i'd overdone it that night and sure felt it the next day. That has been a bit of a pattern for the week really.
    I know people say you don't know your limits until you've reached them and nothing has ever been more true I think. I do wonder what is affecting me more, the operation, sepsis or cancer treatment but it sure feels like my body is going through a lot.

    I make myself a smoothie every morning, to cover the most important nutrients of the day. I believe in saturating myself with good stuff as I'm getting older. I was thinking that it might be helpful for you to take a food supplement like AG1, since it is so easy to prepare, and could help you with your recovery and sustain your health in the long term. I love you Mandy. Suzane 🥰

      It’s going to take time to recover Mandy, don’t try to push yourself too quickly, it’ll take as long as it takes! What you’ve just gone through is quite traumatic for your body, if you push too hard too quick it’ll let you know it’s time to rest. So when it’s telling you to rest bl**dy well rest!
      Take care mandy

    I felt like you after my hysterctomy although it wasn't as straightforward as we expected but some women were like 'i was back at work in 2 weeks'. But i felt I had to do what they did. But 6 weeks down the line I was still like jelly. The GP said 'you silly girl' (rude!) 'It was a major op-you are looking at 6months to a year'. Sooo frustrating. But I pushed and ended with fibro. For 14 years I have had that. I pushed to far too fast. It knackered my thyroid and I nearly died because i ignored it. Then the menopause kicked in. You not only had a major major op, you had sepsis all on top of the cancer. Easy does it. Getting healthy is slow after all you been through. Bodies are amazing but they have limits my GP told me. If you want to sleep its because your body is saying 'I heal better when I am sleeping'. So just go with it. That belt looks brilliant too. Just keep plodding...there is no rush. Sending gentle hugs and healing down from Devon.❤

    So good to see your blog pop up. I think you are doing extremely well. Four weeks for recovery is not a long time for what you have been through. It is good to keep moving as much as you can but not to the point where you are exhausted. I think “they” usually say to do what you can do. Every little bit is helpful.
    I wish you would tell me again what you said and take for restless leg. I would like to try it.
    So good to see you out for your walk and not have rain. Slow and sure wins the race. Take care.
