Is it me, or did they forget to mention "dropping stuff" on the list of side effects with band/port surgery?

Has anyone noticed the need for bending over to pick up dropped stuff has increased tenfold since surgery? Where is that Murphy?

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!! :)

You have DROPSY?!?!

Anyone else want to tell her what this means? I don't have the heart... :dead

Is Dropsy permanent or does it go away when it stops hurting to bend over?

I don't think it goes away - I just think we stop noticing how much we bend over when it doesn't feel like it's going to kill us... lol

I'm impressed how quickly our bodies adapt because I can now pick up a toothpick with my toes without even looking.

That doesn't surprise me at all... I've seen your toes!!!

ROTFLMAO!!!

Is that a big feet joke? Speaking of toes, Babs gave me a 2 hour pedicure yesterday, just to be nice. Can you believe that woman?

Now I have to post a picture of my toes, sheesh, so much to do, such little time!

Lucky Devil! A two hour pedicure!!!! Sweet. I wish I could get my hubby to do something so nice. I just got a professional pedicure last week but boy I would love another. They forgot to really sand at my callouses. Hope you are doing better lisa. I know after my surgery it seemed I dropped everything all the time. UGh! Well best wishes, Teresa

Lisa: I drop things deliberately just to see how easy it is now to pick things up. LOL!!!

Poor baby has the dropsy. I don't have the heart either Donali.

Penni, you show off! I've had infected, bleeding, oozing, deformed, protruding, hurting, tearing port issues for so long that I'll probably be driving with my feet if it doesn't heal soon.
