yah i'm definitely realizing that the healing process is completely individual. No matter what doctors may tell you, unless they've actually HAD the procedure done, they really can't give you an exact idea of what you may be dealing with in the recovery period. My surgeon certainly didn't prepare me for this lengthy recovery. He said i "might be a little sore". What an understatement!!
I'm taking such good care of myself, but it's still been extremely slow going. 5 weeks later and i'm still not nearly "normal" or painfree.
In the past couple days though, I actually have noticed a difference for the better. It's given me a little hope that things will eventually be normal for me.
I won't be stopping my high-fiber lifestyle though, that's for sure!
