7 weeks post op, feel like I'm getting there!

Thought I'd write a little update!

7 weeks post op today.

I had a go at hoovering, and mopping on Sunday morning. Unfortunately had to quickly dry floor with towel as visitors appeared. The foot swings trying to dry floor put me back a little, could barely walk in evening. However have recovered. I have also started ironing, done the school things on Monday morning.

I have now managed to hover and mop all downstairs floors, so nice and fresh.

My daily walk is now 35 mins, but only managing 1 a day as I'm so tired with all the household chores.

Pelvic floor exercises still around 30/40 a day ( not all at once though). Was intending to start swimming yesterday, but was too tired so hopefully today sometime as no discharge for over a week and no spotbleeding eaither. I do occasionally leak ( bladder) when I walk too quickly especially if just been to toilet despite the fact that I pee the get up walk about and sit back down to try and empty properly. I have now stopped taking lactulose, and seem to be OK so far but can always take some if need. Still not doing any heavy washing loads, 2/3 wets towels can still be too heavy!

I feel that this time round gas been far more successful in comparison to last time. Most of time can hardly feel swelling, only ever feel heavy swelling if overdo it, like as if when you take a stride everything will fall out, same feeling if attempt to lift anything too heavy. But managed to avoid much of that this time, thanks to the constant reminders on the forum to take progress slowly and easy.

It's another beautiful day, nice and warm sitting out the back keeping my poor lonely last hen company. Pulled a few weeds, only easy ones in soft soil. For no more than 10/15 mins, so miss my gardening. Will not be able to turn the soil this year, will be a nightmare next year unless someone dies it for me.

Hope everyone else is progressing too.
