One month Post-op Surgery

Welcome back. Here I am one month after surgery, and still having rectum pain and a little abdominal pain. Just enough to make everything and anything uncomfortable. I've been to the doctor for a few check ups, and he said everything is healing great. He also said that the pain is the scar tissue healing and that it would just take time to heal. I'm hoping it heals faster then just "soon"! I'm going crazy constantly moving to find a comfortable position. I've started driving around the 3 week mark. Lifting things has been slow. I'm slowly increasing the weight of things carefully. Don't want to hurt myself. Still looking at going back to work in a month. If you know me, and I'm sure you probably don't, I'm not one to just sit around and sleep all day. I am an active person. I am having trouble sitting down and healing. Mentally, on one hand, I feel cheated in life because I had to make this decision to live with a bag hanging off me for the rest of my life. On the other hand I get to enjoy a lot of my life that I had lost due to the disease that took over my life. I know once the pain is gone and I'm back into the swing of things fully, I'll be happy. Until I get there it's going to be a bumpy road. Well, time to find something to do. Thanks for keeping up with my story.
