34 Days Post Op

Feb 22, 2012

YAYAYAY!!!  I'm finally better!!  It feels so good to feel this good, and now I finally realize what everyone else was feeling!!  I had a bit of a relapse on Friday, meaning the most pain I've felt since they took that darn drain out of my side!!!  So when I went to see Dr. Husain, she poked and prodded and everything all over my belly (RIGHT where the pain was!) until I was crying uncontrollably, but at least she got to see what was going on with me.    She scheduled me to go to a Pain Clinic to get various needles stuck in my belly until they found the nerve that was "stuck" in my stitches, then they would deaden that nerve.  Sounds painful, but I didn't care!  That nerve pain was horrible!!  So, I went home and waited for the Pain Clinic to call.  And finally, less than 2 days later, my pain went away!  It just LEFT!!    I slept on my side for the first time since before the surgery and I was able to put on my shoes and socks with no pain at all!  It's GREAT!!  So, here's my theory:  I think that when she was pushing on my stomach, where the pain was, and moving it around, she must have "released" that nerve somehow, and it's all back to normal! 
I'm so happy to be feeling normal and to be able to enjoy my weight loss!!  35 pounds gone and I'm ecstatic now!  I guess I can say that the surgery is worth it now. 
So, here I go, signing off but HAPPY this time!!
