I'm looking pretty ragged ...
as I can't tuck my shirt in because one of the wounds is still slightly open and draining, it's a good thing we have very casual dress. I also lost a bit of weight (I have always been skinny) so now I look gaunt and to top it all off, this is one of those periods in the Jewish calender when I can't shave or take a haircut so I look very overgrown (usually I take a haircut right before but I was stuck in the hospital). In short, I came back to work looking pretty bad.
This stomach thing is really bothering me, it is worse then the actual recovery from the surgery. I am really hoping that these acidophilus pills help.

Re: Post a picture.
Interesting, that's an image of a little rectangle with a red cross in it, which looks exactly like the icon my browser displays when there is no image at all!

What I do is bung said picture up on my webserver and link it with an IMG tag.

I've seen the suggestion to...
stick the image on [link|http://twiki.iwethey.org/Main/WebHome|http://twiki.iwethey.org/Main/WebHome] and then link to it from here.
Cheers,

A bit depressed
This seems like it is taking forever for me to get back to normal. I thought for sure by now (3 weeks) I would be back to myself and I am not. Sometimes I get the feeling that I will never get back to normal. Work seems a drag now, we are finishing up a release so are fixing all kinds of stupid bugs, not exactly fun.

Have patience.
You've had major surgery and you're not a kid any more.
You don't heal so fast these days.
(After surgery for an aortic aneurism, it took a good six to eight months for my father (mid-fifties) to return to his original rude health).
Be well and take it easy.

I know
I feel like a big baby complaining. Especially that what I went through is nothing compared to the problems that other people have. When I was in the hospital, I was very thankful, most of the people were much worse then I was. I was a very active person before this and now I hardly move. In fact the night before I had the pains I was playing in a softball league playoff game and my big problem was a sore arm. Now I would give anything to be able to just get on the field and and be able to run.
Unfortunately, I know all that intellectually, but I still feel depressed. The worst thing is that my stomach is really bothering me so I am not eating well or sleeping well. I am not sure why. It could be related to the antibiotics or it could be something else. I hate the uncertainty.

Re: I know
Rebuilding all that flora is a subject with a medusa-head of apparent complexity; some get all religious about their fav regimens. Natch.
I know a few 'cases' 1:1 and a bit of the different approaches. Not a topic for any simple thread; I'd just suggest that you do some searching and observe the quite different attitude towards (even the importance of!) this matter - pharm-chem (which treats symptoms on a list) VS a bevy of alternatives.
One book comes to mind; dunno about its availability in your parts, but I just got a copy from a friend who was ~ 8 months ago ~~ heading for Death City. AMA types had nothing much to suggest except More Pills very -much \ufffd- and the usual expen$e. She was getting weaker daily. Visibly.
She is today not quite back to pre-incident level, but doing vastly better than via the popular methodology, ongoing weekly improvement apparent. (This person also tends to measure things, take notes and generally: observe. She also checks out the * PDR and has done her homework on interpreting the various codes in a blood work-up. A wealth of data there, if one learns the necessary interconnections; plus an at least basiic comprehension of the various organs - liver, kidneys, etc. It's always All about our imperfect understanding of the immune system; all one knows for sure is: Best try to help it restore itself, via any means as Work.
* Physicians Desk Reference - in US, it's used as an 'auto repair manual' by most-all MDS - lest they be sued for doing anything Differently from the other MDs. Think 'innovation'. Then.. don't.
This tack does require more personal input, more "noticing" and a change of dietary habits. While it is ~akin to the pop lo-carbs fad: 'weight-loss' isn't even on the wish list (though it follows naturally, too).
Book is, Restoring Your Digestive Health by Jordan S. Rubin, NMD and Joseph Brasco, MD
www.kensingtonbooks.com
(As this method reduced std cholesterol number from 316 to 219 in a 3-month period - re an acquaintance of the above person: 'science' demands that I 'test' - screw the evangelists.) I'll have a report later. So far.. Interesting.
FWIW
