Happy Thanksgiving To everyone in Canada!
It is a beautiful sunny fall day here- I am on my third day post-op and (knock on wood) I am feeling pretty good. Last night I was bothered by a bit of gas pain, but some Gas X and my wonderful heating pad took care of that!
I am hanging out at my parents place at the moment- until tomorrow morning ( I haven't been feeling up to driving yet) and I am spacing my pain meds out a little too- I was taking them every 4 hours but I am down to about every 5 and a half and I am feeling better (less groggy!)
No turkey dinner here for me-- not that I would even want to eat it if I could- don't feel hungry at all , but I am forcing myself to drink my water and my thin yogurt and protein shakes-- might try some carrot soup for dinner...
I had a few moments last night and this morning when I though- what have I done to myself?! But now that I am not taking as much pain meds I am feeling a lot more myself!
I keep finding myself thinking I go back to work on Tuesday-- but I have taken a week off and don't go back until the October 15th- Feels so weird not heading back to work-- that tells you that I needed a vacation!! (not that this is really a vacation!! haha!)
I keep finding myself looking at clothing websites and dreaming of all the normal size clothing I will be able to fit into! :o)
Well I am off to sip some more water-- and some soup too.
Sounds like you are doing great. I still look at clothes and dream. Just think.. a year from now.. what could be?!?
