It seems as if the blunt of my surgery has effected my legs and hips. It aches to walk, to sit for long periods of time even with the aid of a cane the walking is difficult. I know the residual pain in my stomach is expected but the legs? Maybe becuase I can't walk as freely as normal and putting weight down on the cane has thrown something off inside my leg muscles??? The pain pills don't touch it and laying down seems to help but when the doctor tells you to get up and walk and move as much as possible then what the? I see him tomorrow and will ask about the legs and inform him that I'm in no condition to return to work as I had hoped so it looks like another two weeks of idle time for yours truly. But hey, I deserve it and obviously need it. Hopefully he will let me go so that I can return to my regular doctor and get the EDG and that wonderful test called a colonoscopy done while off from work, rather than returning to work and taking time off for these two things. Talk about having a three way and not so much as a kiss. Good grief Charlie Brown. One up and one down at the same time. Every gay man's dream come true, but I had thought of it in a different light or should I say setting and with people of interest and not cameras and tubes, oh well, what are you going to do? Lay there and take and get it over with!!!!!!! Yahoo, maybe all of this is finally coming to an end!?!?!?
Sorry for the pain you are going through. I am in a similar place right now re pain. Plus other stuff I will not go into now. I do hope you can get ALL of this done and over with. Another - Good boy, Jon!

The colonoscopy is a piece of cake (not to be confused with a piece of ass!). I am also due for this and when the 'dust settles' I will also schedule. My mom's colon cancer has me in the slightly paranoid mode at times. Accomplished lots today, and am sitting up my mom and I's new girlfriend bedroom, complete with my little antique twin bed beside her hospital bed.
I think that she is looking forward to my staying over..
Hang in there baby,
Love,
Jan

It's easier on your back if you walk with two sticks rather than one. But better still is to walk with a zimmer-frame, as it disperses your weight more evenly.
