Day 5...the magic number

Aug 21, 2010

 while waking up is still painful, especially in my belly button, once i get up and start moving and my body warms up i feel better. sitting feels the best. 

today i began feeling semi normal. i was able to have some unjury chicken broth for breakfast. as i was walking i was even able to dance a little bit. slow moves of course but it was cool. i had a little pep in my step again :) i finally changed out of my pjs and into some other pjs. pain killers are great. i've had some really good sleep last night and today. rest is so nice. 

i was able to have jello today! wow! thats huge for me. it went down just fine :)

omg i had a dream i ate my husbands tacos! oh man i had these dreams during the pre-op diet. i would dream about eating and then freak out that i ate food! well thank god it was just a dream but i don't appreciate it! lol. darn brain.

things are looking up. i look forward to tomorrow and the next day, etc. i wonder if i'll be feeling good enough on monday or tuesday to go in to see my surgeon. the car ride home from the hospital (no pain meds) was so brutal. i might hold off till later in the week to see the surgeon. my bellybutton scar is still wet and tender. its not healing as fast as the others. :( i worry about it sometimes. its the most painful scar. especially in the mornings when i get up. oof. everything else has now become quite tolerable. even the gas.

feeling so optimistic about the future:)
