Today is an okay day....(good compared to yesterday). I finally went to the bathroom and passed some gas. Wow, does that feel good! I havent had as much tylenol with codeine today as I did yesterday.  I still am having trouble getting up and down from my chair. I definitaly cannot lay down and get up, but that will come with time. The protein shakes i think are starting to give me some more energy, which feels great. I have been taking benedryl as well becuase i think the codeine from the tylenol made my whole body itch! It seems to be one thing after another. I try to walk around as much as i can all day.
I just cant wait for my stomach to settle down a little. It is still very bloated.
Thank again everyone for your support and kind words. Til next time...
