Pain, lots of pain...and some good news too!!

Jan 08, 2011

It's been one of those weeks where the pre op me would bury herself in several pints of Ben & Jerry's and as much junk food as possible! All I've wanted to do all week is eat and sleep and be a mope! Ever since I had WLS my monthly friend has returned which is a blessing in reality but a curse as well! The cramps, moodiness, irritability have multiplied ten fold since WLS and to add insult to injury I'm bipolar so for two weeks I'm psycho...quite literally!! My poor husband can't do anything right for two weeks, lol and all I can do is cry like a baby and apologize profusely for being a total bitch to him for no reason at all! To make my week that much better yesterday while at the Chiropractor's office no less, my back goes into a major and complete spasm which radiates into my legs leaving me against the wall, hunched over unable to stand straight or bend over anymore than I already was. It hasn't flared up this bad in a very long time! Searing, burning pain coursing through my lower body and it felt as though someone set fire to my lower half! Ironically I had just been telling the Dr. how great I've been feeling!
I was alone, usually my husband goes with me but he had to work so I was stuck, unable to move for a while! I managed to gimp out to my car and thankfully it was a short, straight shot to my husband's work so I cruise controlled it! Not the safest option I know but there wasn't much else I could do! So I get to spend my weekend sitting on an ice pack drugged up on pain meds and muscle relaxers in hopes that I can do any moving at all!
On the up side, earlier yesterday I was having lunch with my hubby and I had picked up a letter from his primary to drop of to our surgeon for his WLS. I knew the surgeon needed the letter, but he tells me that he's been approved! I didn't know that!!! He was approved by our insurance earlier in the week and the only thing they needed was the Dr's letter! I'm so excited for him and so happy that I get to be on the other side of WLS and take care of him and help him on his journey. I'm grateful for the support he's given me the last 9 months as I've gone through having WLS and all the complications that I've had to deal with. He tells me I've inspired him to want to be healthy and that he wants to be as healthy as he can be not only for his life but for our life together and the lives of our future family! To say I'm proud to be his wife is an understatement! This man is my best friend and we've been through hell and back together so to see him get healthier makes me so happy! 
So that's been my week! Not all bad but a pain in the ass...literally!
