Top 5 Least Favourite Things about Surgery (5 days later)
- Struggling to sleep comfortably at night with two incisions and a sutured wound in my left side, as well as a left shoulder that tends to get sore when I lay down, due to the chest tube that was inserted somewhere in a line directly below it.
- Lack of stamina. If I walk at my usual pace (brisk), my chest starts to hurt after maybe 30 seconds. Which is an improvement, actually!
- Being cut off from a lot of normal activities, most notably running.
- Fear of pulling sutures/accidentally lifting more than the advised 10 pounds and complicating the recovery.
- General soreness/feeling off/mood.
