Debbie, I just did moderate exercise, 15 minutes 3 times a week more or less. And none at all since the TT, but I can start again a little next Friday when it will be 6 weeks.
Mrs. Doodlepunk, The TT has been much more difficult to recover from than I expected, mainly because they pull the muscles together and stitch them and they don't like it and it was feeling like one constant strong Braxton Hicks contraction, but I am feeling much better now, almost like normal. I did also have a hernia repair at the same time, but I don't think that made much difference, from what I have heard about other people's experiences. The spasms are very common. They did give me pain medication, and vallium, which helped the spasms a lot, but they both made me dopey and the vallium made me feel apathetic all the time. I am really happy with the results, though. It must have been a really bad experience that makes you not want surgery with results so nice. Maybe some day you will reconsider...
