Almost four weeks out...

May 02, 2010

Well, it will be four weeks on Wednesday since I was switched. I'm feeling a bit better. I finally got the pain to go away that I was having in my stomach around one of my incisions. The surgeon thought he had caught a nerve but the chiropractor was the one that got the pain to go away with cold laser therapy and ultrasound therapy. I'm doing well getting my protein in every day and my fluids. I am still struggling with the vitamins but I know that it will get better. I am trying to stick with the soft foods/pureed foods but it is really hard. I am about over turkey salad. I have had a few instances of having things not pureed and I had a bit of broccoli. I have never crazed fruits and veggies so much in my life. I had 1/2 of a banana tonight because I was low on carbs today and the NUT at my surgeons office wants us to have between 30 and 60 grams a day of carbs. 

I'm starting to feel like I am going to make it through this and it is going to be OK. I am nervous though about going back to work next week and not sure I'm ready but I have to get back to try and make some money this month. I get a small base and then incentive on top and the incentive is where the money is. Gotta love sales. If I only miss one week in the month I might be able to make something this month. My family is ready for me to be recovered and back to being supermom and I'm not ready for that either. I have enjoyed my break from work, cleaning, laundry, etc.
