Hi All,
Well its been a better week. I started back to work Fri and worked Fri, Sat, Sun. Id start to get tired around 8/9p but made it till 11p all nights. I hadn't had to take a pill for the orthostatic hypotension until today. I was feeling it this afternoon but still didn't take it and went out and raked leaves, pulled up the wet leaves and bagged 4/55gal bags. I finally had to go in and take a pill and sit for about half hour or so. I got back up and took alllll the garb down to the curb for tomorrow. All in all I think ive done well.
Surg wt...4/10/13...350lbs

Thank you Laura,
Im trying not to but im so sick of what I call wasted time being down and sick. I have a great husband but honestly, he was awesome taking care of me and the animals but not so great with the house lol. I managed, over an entire week, to get all the laundry done so this week Im just doing a weeks worth...awesome! I keep the dishes done, theres only 2 of us, and I vac'd the 3 area rugs after work. I'll finish laundry tomorrow after work then im off the weekend. I feel like with the wl I should be doing sooo much more but then with the ortho hypo its kinda do what you can and remember to drink, eat and sleep lol.
Thank you tho...Im going to repeat this to myself daily until I can do without worry.
tia
