Baby steps...but steps none the less

Hello all,
Monday kids left and I spent the next few days with very little energy and sleeping a great deal. Met with my GP and she feels it takes close to 6 weeks to recover from the peritonitis. I have been taking probiotics to try and help the abdomen recover. After a few days of little progress and my weight falling to 133 there has been a marked improvement in the last few days.
I am trying to get an appointment to have a GI specialist look at the area on my left side that still can act up and give me some pain.
All and all I feel more hopeful and have a bit more energy. Sandra had a long talk, 2 hours plus, with a friend of mine who is a California based MD and very open to all possibilities. That was very helpful. I have been focused on 3 things: get 2600+ calories in each day, walk around the block 3-4 times a day, rest every time I get tired. Simple but necessary.
Did a very light weight circuit this morning and 10 minutes on my bike trainer at the lowest level. Am I out of shape! Psychologically however it was a big boost just to do what would normally be laughable. I am hopeful that a corner has been turned and although I have much further to come back now I am at least moving in the right direction.
Went out to try and buy some pants that don't wrap around me like a sari as my current ones do....that was fruitless. Not many 30 inch waist 34 inch leg pants out there...none where I was looking. Got some nice shirts so I'll look moderately good from the waist up should I ever leave my cocoon and venture out.
Thanks once more for all the support this passed week. Energy is so vital to will and recovery.
Warm regards,
Peter
