4 weeks post surgery

Well hard to believe I have made it through 4 weeks already.  Although healing started slow  in the beginning with the infection, things seem to be healing right along now. Well that's my opinion as I haven't been back to the Doctor yet.  Still hopping and scooting with the walker as I still cannot bare weight on left leg or hand for 4 more long weeks. This is where is hard for me as pain is decreasing and feeling better, I start getting ansy and wanting to do things.  The boredom has really kicked in and walls closing in some but I know it will pass. Just like with our quits have to do what we need to get us through and know with one day at a time it will pass.  I do have a follow appt on this Wednesday, so will update then.

Thank you all for being here for me, showing me your love care, and prayers. I am forever thankful to be in this family. I want to especially say thank you to Shawn ShawnP  for covering for me on the Freedom Train

Thought I would show a pic of my new thumb (THINGER). Once the healing takes place I will show without the wrap.  Now to get it moving and working as a thumb.  The rod you see in my thumb is what fell out. They believe it fell out due to swelling decreasing and more room for rod to slip.

Hi! My name is Sharon and I am married, a mom to 5 kids and also have 2 fur babies that are both shelties and considered my kids. I have smoked for about 30 years. I came here to learn how to quit and stay quit. I need to quit to impove my health and was tired of nicotine controlling me and Doctors and family nagging me. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Now that I have joined in the EX family I now have been free of nicotine since May 13th 2016.
