Going well

Sep 16, 2011

First full day home.  Everything seems to be going well.  I found variety is key for me.  I had no issues getting in all my clear fluids and full fluids today.  Had an orange creme Chike (broken out into 2 meals), tomato soup w/ skim milk (4 oz, for 2 servings), sugar free popsicle, lots of water & crystal light.  Pain has been manageable.  Sleep has been an issue.  I just can't get confortable lying down in bed.  I will be taking pain meds this evening to see if these help improve this issue.

I spend today reading a few people's diaries on OH.  Very motivational.  Looking for all means of support & encouragement.

I have my first followup next Wednesday with my surgeon. I'm looking forward to that.

Oh, all vitamins taken & without issue.

Still taking the steady & slow approach.  I'm so afraid of being sick & nauseous.  Keeping that away is good for me.

One question....I find myself sweating a lot since I've been home.  Anyone else experience this?  I am in a tank top & shorts and still sweating uncontrollably. Thoughts? Suggestions? 

Good night.
