Re: Liver Resection Surgery

Hi CB~
Glad to hear you're up & around & feeling stronger every day. I recall feeling really tired, like so much of my energy was going towards just healing. I started with just walking to the mailbox or showering and having to rest, to then walking to the park, then around the park.
I also remember feeling like there was just so much swelling/fluid filling & sloshing around in the space where my liver was that I just felt bloated & that contributed to not being able to eat much and doing anything, including breathing was just a little more laborious.
But each week it felt like the swelling went down & the fluid reabsorbed & decreased and the energy came back and the ease of moving around came back with time.
So glad you have the hard part behind you.
Only more healing & energy to come.
Hope you're resting well too~
