Topic	people who had surgery, how long did it take to get your stamina back?
ParanoidObsessive 09/12/19 12:29:52 AM #2:	It probably depends on the surgery. When I had laparoscopic gall bladder removal, I was barely able to stand for the first week or so. I had to go to my grandmother's funeral like four days later and literally trying to push my way out of a chair to stand up would cause sweat to bead on my forehead like I was lifting massive weights. And that wasn't even lifting with my legs - the chair had arms and I was straight up pushing myself up like a gymnast on parallel bars because it was the only way I could stand. About two weeks later I was still pretty tapped out, but I had enough energy to drive through a massive ice storm to a friend's house to GM our RPG campaign. I was still at least somewhat hunched over while I was forced to stop every couple minutes or so to chisel ice off my windshield to see (because the wipers kept freezing up), but I was still able to do it relatively well, and didn't feel completely beat when I got there. It was uncomfortable, yes, but not intolerable. By about a month I still wasn't supposed to do anything overly strenuous or taxing but I was generally able to walk around normally and didn't get too tired doing normal things. Pretty much by the end of 8 weeks to the day I was playing street hockey (which was the bare minimum amount of time I'd been told to wait, but I was 22 and thus obviously immortal and indestructible and doctor's advice clearly didn't apply to me). Doing that I definitely felt like I had less stamina than normal, but by that point I think it was less the surgery itself and more just the fact that I hadn't really exercised for two straight months. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:927318778] in people who...
