    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~JudyAnne~

home and overwhelmed!
posted on 1/19/08 4:20 pm
My surgery was on the 15th.  It went well.  It took a bit longer than expected as my surgeon said I was a "big girl".  That wasn't exactly news to me.
My recovery went fine and I was allowed to go home on the 17th.  I've been a it overwhelmed with trying to figure out how to get my protein and water in each day.  I feel full really fast and the whole "stop eating 30 minutes before and no drinking for 30 minutes afterwards" really makes things hard at times.  I'm not getting near enough protein or water in and I'm not getting any calcium in...I can't handle the chewables.  I'm also downing Milk of Magnesia to try and get things moving inside again...it's been almost a week. 

I still don't regret the surgery...but I am still worried about doing this all by myself.  My mom has been here and she is leaving to go home tomorrow...so I'm on my own.  I've got lots of friends that care and will check in...

I hope I don't go into a depressed funk and cry my way through this journey!
