Subject: RE: BS: Healing thoughts for Katlaughing
Ah, you all sure know how to make a woman feel special. Thank you so much. I know I keep saying that and it feels inadequate, but I'm not quite to where I can come round and give you all hugs just yet, not since ya aren't all in one choice spot, at least.:-)

I am not as fatigued, today, and I managed to work almost three hours. Not all at once, but in increments and THAT felt good. My boss is wonderful but I don't want to take advantage of that. I managed to get to submissions' ratings sheets off to him, today, so that's a good start.

Oh, and I got on the treadmill. Did more than that, even walked on it, at the slowest pace for a whopping TWO minutes, rest two, then one more before the pulse went kinda high and the pulse ox dipped a tiny bit. NOT to worry, I had on supplemental oxygen and was monitoring my pulse and pulse ox, so no worries. I stop when things don't look right.**bg** I can see it is going to take some time to get back to some decent exercise, but I CAN be patient about that. It just feels good not to spend the whole day in bed AND to KNOW this is NOT like before the surgery. I AM better and getting more so every day. Ya know they never say much about PTSD after surgery, but I am convinced a person can suffer from it. It's difficult to keep the mind from going there, some times.

Thanks, again, my Dear Friends,
