Ok, so here's the deal. Had kidney surgery two weeks ago. Now I know it's way way way too early to even be thinking about hiking, but, still the wheels are spinning already. (after all, ain't a whole lot else I can do right now!)
My surgery was "open" as opposed to laproscopic and as a result there is about a 7+ inch scar healing nicely on the right at the waist. The very thought of my pack resting there right now is just horrific. I know this gets better but am wondering if anyone out there has ever had anything similar...and how did you fare?? How long before all the muscles shared their part of the load?? That is currently what is tiring me out so much. The muscles that must compensate are getting very tired!
So, in fact, I'm off for a brief nap...been upright for hours now and it's getting old.
Gracias, Karin
PS...just realized...maybe some other women who had c-sections??? any and all advice is appreciated.
