Hi there! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! I have been wrapped up in a whirlwind the last few weeks. Glad to meet another Albertan with a Band! Would love to keep in touch and share struggles and successes! Take Care, Jenny

Hi Shonette:

Hi Mimi;
It hurt! Im not going to lie! I did take the offered pain meds from the nurses the first time later that evening but could refuse later. I just felt really really tight all over! I think the gas hurt more than anything. My core muscles are really still pretty weak so I find the lack of strength more frustrating than the pain. 3 days out and the pain is minimal.

Thanks for popping in on my blog! Glad you took the time to read! I am going to try to keep everyone posted and have to admit that I draw on the feedback from those who have been there and are going there. Its a big deal and not a silver bullet. I know it wont be easy either and am counting on my attitiude to get me through this. Motivation comes only from oneself!
Keep in touc...
