All that and a bag...or not...
Oct 15, 2010
So I'm sitting here, three days out from surgery. I've already had a follow up with my endocrinologist (I'm a type I diabetic), and an appointment for two weeks from now with the surgeon. I'm tired, probably a little dehydrated, sore, gassy...but, honestly, even like this, (with a little help from the pain medicine), I'm feeling like vacuuming. Maybe it's just the thought of my future to come, or the excitement, but whatever it is, I'm happy. I'm applying to grad schools, will be finishing up UCSF tomorrow (pharmacy program hopefully!) ..So much on my plate all at once, but I have to say, I feel lucky. My husband has been a huge help, he's so tired (I can't blame the poor man, he slept every night at the hospital with me and the second night they wouldn't let him use the free bed so he just didn't sleep ). My friends and parents and in-laws have all called and visited if they could. This was a much tougher surgery than I had thought. Don't get me wrong, I didnt' think it would be easy. But holy shit I wasn't expecting the discomfort and pain. I guess my head was just in la-la-land.Looking forward to the weeks to come. I don't have a good scale, been using the same one since 2001 and it was five bucks, still tells me I weigh under 300 lbs. LOL, I'm pretty sure i'm a solid 317, weighed that at the hospital and at the doctors office. I am not going to focus on the number, just work on getting my liquids in me, then focus on protein, then everything else.
