I'm healthy obey down hey lucky you
waiting so patiently for breakfast
[Music]
what's going on YouTube
8:08 in here I just got into the car
very very excited today is my post-op
appointment I've been waiting for this
moment from like literally the second
after surgery so I'm just waiting for
Jenny Lee we're gonna head over to the
doctor's office I'm super freaking
stoked to hear what she has to say
alright so just waiting for the doc to
come in the post-op appointment was
pretty quick I thought that maybe they
would do more of a pelvic exam but
apparently pelvic exam which would mean
just to check all the interior stitches
is until six weeks I scheduled my six
weeks post-op unfortunately I thought I
would have more clearance to do stuff
then I actually do so at the end of the
day I can't lift anything more than 15
pounds and my walking can now go about
20 minutes a day she called them strolls
it sounds like I can't do any kind of
intense hikes or anything like that I
could do still flat some incline but
nothing really crazy other than that it
was kind of just going over medications
which I'm not taking any anymore it was
going over just looking at my incision
marks which all look really good she
said she did say that I can start
showering a little more directly because
when I shower I have my back to the
water according to her and I think so
too my recovery went really really
smooth I suffered from some of the bowel
stuff which I mentioned to her that she
said it's super normal and that I'm just
doing really really well so I keep
comparing this to top surgery and I
guess the big difference here is that
with top surgery everything's very
external and it's really just removing
tissue and is still a serious surgery
but I literally had an organ from my
body removed and I think that is where
the big difference is I'm definitely
going to be making a post surgery plan
of action I want to come up with things
I can train then I also want to go over
how many minutes am I going to walk
every day and
and also how many minutes am I going to
increment that up so like maybe I'll
work walk 20 minutes for three or four
days and then after that I'll add five
or ten minutes I'll make a video all
about what I'm gonna do and kind of
explain it all to you one thing she did
mention that I'm happy she told me about
is that there it's very common as like
the internal incisions as they dissolve
she said that it's very likely that I'll
experience bleeding anywhere from two
weeks all the way up to the four or
fifth week she said that's a good sign
it just means that everything internally
is healing and I guess I don't she
didn't give me any more details but I
guess somewhere along the way that could
lead to some a little bit of bleeding or
spotting so if I had gotten spotting
three weeks post-op I'd be like what's
going on why am i spotting this is not
right so the one thing that I want to
also talk about she did say is that when
she was doing the surgery she noticed
that I had an extra ureter
so the ureter is part of your bladder
love to ureters everyone else to one on
each side I have three you know she said
because she had noticed that I had an
extra ureter on the left side she took a
look at them and you know spend a little
time in my bladder just to make sure
everything was functioning the extra
ureter is actually a functioning ureter
so it's processing urine just like the
other two so I did X or if this would
make me pee more often or have a feeling
to have to pee more and she said not
particularly so fun fact about me if you
ever spend more than a day with me or
even a few hours with me I'd be a lot
like I drink a lot of water but I pee a
lot so I was just like oh maybe this is
why I pee a lot but apparently no it's
just a just a weird thing no matter how
many extra ureters I have I'm just a
peeing machine the things you learn um
while you're in surgery like about your
body like no one else like there would
be no reason for me to know or find out
that I have an extra ureter it was just
really interesting to be like wait
what do you mean so that was kind of
funny little little thing to learn about
myself so but I'm doing really good two
weeks post-op I'm feeling really great
I'm honestly a little disappointed that
I can't do much with bracing the core
she kept saying the word a major major
major surgery so it is what it is I'm
trying to just like feel okay with it
I'm trying to feel in control a little
bit but tomorrow I'm gonna again write
down and I'll do a video just kind of
explaining my thoughts on what I'm gonna
do so that I can work my way up as far
as walking as far as what can I train
like I can I could probably do some
weight like some some bicep tricep work
maybe and I can't do any pushing above
my head forward or pulling so that
really just leaves like this so I don't
know maybe I'll jack up my guns with
some ten pounders for the next couple of
weeks and you know anything to make me
feel better is what I'm gonna try to do
I'm gonna get back to work I hope you
guys are all enjoying the beginning of
your week
happy July I mean summer is officially
officially here I'll catch you in the
next video peace all good stuff even got
a sticker
yeah even got a little sticker
