See the Light!!! It's not the train coming the other way!!!

Jul 15, 2009

  We have not arrived, but we're on our way for sure.  Checked into the surgeon's office to day for the first post-op visit.  I arrived with a lotta questions, but the number one......will I ever feel better?  Everything makes me kinda sick.

Met with Anita the NP, and she went over all the issues with nausea since the day of surgery.  I guess there are others for whom it lasted up to 3 months.  So two weeks, what's that?  Well, a lot, if you are the one who's sick all the time.  She gave me Zofram, which I had in the hospital and its works.  YAY!!!!  Additionally they bumped up the previcid too, and between all that I am feeling the best I have since surgery.  Now I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and now it doesn't seem like a train coming the other way. 

Jumped on the scale and I have lost 11 pounds since surgery.  That's almost a pound a day.  Wow.

Dinner tonight was a partial serving of pintos and cheese from Taco Bell.  It was heaven.  Delicious stuff after all the sweet drinks.  I'm really inspired to try all the harder to make this work out.

DH and I walked one mile today along the beach.  Liesurely walk but so lovely to be out and walking again.  I got the okey dokey to begin using my treadmill as well.  Slow speed for short intervals, but that's okay too.

Its going to be okay.  Couldn't feel confident saying that at first, but getting there, and developing that excitement about what tommorrow will bring. 

All glory to the Builder!!
