Post - Op Doc Appt was today

Aug 24, 2010

Today, I met Dr. Cantor for the first time since surgery (well, he did come to the sip test).  I was weighed and went down to 262!  (my home scale said 260, though).  That was about a 10-13 pound weight loss since pre-surgery.

So... anyway - the doctor said that I am doing great.  He took out the drain - which was gross...... it felt like it was a 20 feet long..... EWWWWW!  Did I say EWWWWW!

Let's go on....  the good news is I'm doing great.

The bad news is that I had a high pulse of 107 -but I needed an IV of 2 liters - which was just lovely....  it took two hours !

After that, I went to work !  Yes - back to work - I spent from noon to four thirty there... it was  a lot, but I was OK.  My husband and kids came to pick me up and they helped me arrange my classroom.

The day was stressful because of the colleagues I work with - everyone is always quite intersted in everything related to classrooms (I'm the department head).... and I wish everyone would be calm and realize I just had surgery and try to solve some of their own problems....

I am going to try for work tomorrow too.... We'll see what happens.

:-)  smiles to all !
