Eleven Days Out It's been an adventure but generally I feel good. There are a few days there that I'm not too clear about and a few bad food choices that caused a little inappropriate body music but suddenly my brain woke up on day ten and said okay, let hit it and it jumped back on track. Thank you to my angel Nicolle who sent me a lifesaving email of encouragement when I needed one. Thank you to my beloved daughter reminding me that I had missed the "Hero" Award celebration for not taking pain meds and should take them (she was sooo right). Thank you to my support team in Chicago who keeps the home fires burning and stays in touch because they are eager to help and support me. So the purpose of this post is to say that the ten day rule hold up. Ten days after surgery, so much seems to click. Body rhythms, food requirements, meds, water, everything all works together.
Tomorrow I go to see Dr. Rabkin for my follow-up and I'm anxious to get going on vitamins although his booklet says that they shouldn't be introduced before three weeks post-op. I have so many questions that have already been answered by this website.
Okay, I have to say that since my angel, Nicolle, told me about this website, I have been lurking on it every spare minute. I mean up until two days before the surgery and three days after when I resumed. You guys are fabulous. I start to crave coffee and there's a thread about that. I start to think about planning my meals and there's a thread about that. I just begin to ask a question in my head and there's a thread about that.
I'll keep blogging intermittently as I stumble through this first post op year but I don't want to forget to thank all of you for your support and valuable information.
