Today it is four weeks since I had my hernia repair done. Incision discomfort has been minor, even in the early days. Now the incision is barely visible much less notable.
My respiratory issues that were aggravated during the procedure are gradually improving. I have been increasingly active – doing my daily aerobic and treadmill workouts (increasing duaration and intensity), getting fresh air, getting adequate sleep. And, as usual.. staying on top of my typical health routines – inhalers, lung clearing, sinus flush, deep breathing, vitamins (B12, D3, Lutein) and collagen supplements.
I am truly fortunate to be retired and have the time I needed for this recovery. I am also truly fortunate to have a caring husband who has been with me and been an active participant in my recovery.
And of course, the best in all of this is that my surgery, long anticipated, is now BEHIND ME! My hernia repair has been done successfully and no doubt permanently, AND I am ready to go out shopping for some real jeans and fitted dress pants. 👖
Today, it is one month until I complete the first four years of my Health and Wellness Journey!
I am ready to move forward. Success and setbacks will both be a part of this journey. Chronic lung issues will play a part in how far I will go and how I will get there. But, I move forward with hope, faith, excitement and anticipation. 😉

Thank you, Anne! I don’t know if persistence is genetic, but my parents and older siblings were/have always been persistent. (Borderline stubborn?) ☺️

You are very welcome Anne. Do you have any thoughts on the Alberta wanting to leave Canada and become its own country?

It isn’t Alberta – it is anywhere from 10% to 30%. (And of course the most outspoken) Personally, I think if they want to be American, they should apply for American citizenship and move to the States.
