Elpha's New Pieces

[paul72]

hi Elpha
Best wishes tomorrow!!
I hope you receive great care during and after

[Armee]

Sending you lots of good wishes and warmth for your surgery and recovery. I love that you have people around and know that they will want to help you. I try to remember when I need help how much of a gift it is when I am able to help someone else...how good that feels.

hey, el,

first, best of everything for tomorrow - i'll be thinking of you, will be there in spirit.

second, i'm glad your mom is feeling better.  it's good to know there are meds for the long covid symptoms.  and that they help.  also glad she's coming to help care for you.

and, third, i'm on the love bandwagon always and it made me smile that you've told her you love her.  i hope she's also said it to you.  honestly, i can't be happier for you.  this deserves something special, to my mind, so i'm sending some fireworks cuz they always make me smile and remind me of color and light during any kind of darkness.   love and a hug filled with healing vibes

Thank you everyone 

I will update here in a few days

[Elphanigh]

I made it out of surgery just fine. However, my two hour surgery became a 6 hour surgery because it was more complex than any of the doctors predicted.

Yesterday evening was rough, like I couldn't get up or do anything without my mom holding on me jusyt in case I would pass out.

This morning seems slightly better on that front. Just very sore today

[paul72]

I hope you get some good rest and continue improving each moment
Glad it went well!!

[Armee]

Simple would be nice sometimes, wouldn't it?

I hope the pain becomes less severe and that you can move more independently today when you need to.

Rest up, E!

hey,

i hope you can take your time and be at peace with your recovery period.  sounds like your innards could use some time for R and R.  sitting with you, el.  love and hugs, my dear (i don't want to give you a big hug cuz i don't want to hurt you!  just a lovely gentle one, ok?)

May all the 'little better' moments continue 

[Elphanigh]

Thank you so much everyone 

I am definitely getting lots of rest and and recovery time. Little better moments are happening and I just need to be patient.

San, the gentle hug is great  My innards definitely need some R and R. They did a number on my entire stomach area. It's pretty red and bruising but will get better over time.

[Elphanigh]

Still recovering okay. Being on the fourth day out from surgery is much easier than the first few days. I still get tired easy and am.pretty sore but it isn't nearly as tough.

I get occasionally frustrated with my limits but not too bad yet.

My M has been so helpful and supportive. She leaves tomorrow which will be odd but I am glad to have had her for the hardest part of this. I am grateful for how much she has grown and how much our relationship has healed. 

[Armee]

I'm glad you are feeling better and you I hope are so proud of what you were able to accomplish with your mom. That cannot have been easy at all. Keep resting. You deserve to heal from surgery and your body needs that time.

[Elphanigh]

Thank you, Armee. I am definitely resting and being extra kind to my body. They did a lot that will take weeks of healing. I am on day four. The full recovery time is about 6 weeks. I have 3 weeks off of work to rest and recover.

[woodsgnome]

Thanks for the update, Elpha  Hope the recovery keeps you at a wonderful, relaxed, comfort level. Very good to read about your relationship with m has continued to ease during this process. 

[Not Alone]

Elpha, wishing you peace and continued recovery.
