I haven't been exercising since I starting hurting real bad with the scar tissue. Then I started realizing about 2 weeks ago I didn't think I was hurting as bad. But the best test was to get back to working out and swimming.
So I'm back working out, swimming and doing water aerobics this week. I haven't had no added pain from the adhesions so the tear must have healed. If I had not taken the break it could have just kept getting worse though.

Canceling surgery
My surgery for my adhesions is scheduled for Friday. Sometimes adhesions can heal after a tear and most often surgeons won't do surgery if you are just having pain. But I was having breathing problems and bloating along with pain.
I have taken it easy for a while now and been on a soft diet. I have slowly added solid foods in my diet since the pain has gone away in the past week or so.
So yesterday I tested things by getting on the treadmill since working out is what started all this. Today I have a very small amount of pain but no bloating.
So I think I'm going to put the surgery off for a while. I'm sure I will have to have it in the future but I would like to finish recovering from my last surgery for a while before I have to have another.
My surgeon understands adhesions and knows they can flair up at anytime.
I rather put the surgery off because every time you are opened up for surgery it just causes more adhesions. It would make more sense to wait as long as I can.

7 days until surgery...
Would it not be totally cool if the pain and other systems just went away? Believe it or not they seem to have pretty much. At least it is like this I don't have enough pain to want surgery.
I am so happy! I have thought for several days things were feeling better. The true test will be when I get to working out again. I have got to start working out again to see if the pain comes back. But that's the thing about this surgery it can always be rescheduled.
My surgeon was very understanding he said if the pain went away to cancel. Right now... I'm feeling good about canceling my adhesion surgery.
Today I also tested my headaches. I had avoided going toward Greenville, Tennessee because of the curvy roads would do terrible things to my head and I wold have a fetal position headache for 3 or 4 days after trying to recover.
We took a trip today and I had very minimum headache with the roads. I actually enjoyed myself and I'm home tired but not suffering.
