Lessons Learned Today

Jan 12, 2010

So it's day two and I've learned alot today already.
     1. I love my husband so much. He has been super helpful these past two days. Last night I hardly slept because the liquid tylenol wasn't working anything like the hospital meds. He didn't sleep a wink. My neighbor said he was scared. I told him to get some sleep. He said I will sleep when you get up. I don't want anything to happen to you in your sleep. (Like I was gonna stop breathing or something)
    2. I am a real punk. Once the kids were out of the house, I decided to get some rest and fill my prescription later. I sipped water, a protein shake, and tried s/f jello but it didn't go down too good. Then it hit me. I needed the pain meds because the tylenol just wasn't working. I wasn't comfortable at all. I couldn't get it together and that was the reason why. I got my prescription filled, took the meds, and slept like a baby for a couple of hours.
   3. That was my first surgery. It scared me half to death waking up and didn't have a clue. This lapband thing is not a game. After all I have been through, I refuse to misuse this tool in fear of having to go through surgery again. I'm on the other side now, thank God.
   4. I know the next few days are gonna be rough but I wanna feel  better. It feels like I've done 1000 crunches. I think I know where my port is, because it's super sensitive there. I have slight pain in my shoulder. I can only sleep on my back. In no way am I complaining.  I'm simply documenting because this will probably be a blur when I start to lose the weight. Until the next time.......
