I'm on the Losers Bench Now :)

Aug 09, 2010

Here I am a week post op and am feeling pretty good for the most part.  I'm sore sure but I feel better than I thought I would.  I was in the hospital from Monday - Friday w/ a little nausea and to get my pain under control, but they finally found a pain pill that was like magic for me and I'm still taking them but am trying to spread them apart further and further.  I'm doing real well w/ getting my liquids in and am getting in one protein shake and I add some FF Milk to it to give myself 40g of protein for that shake, but thats about all I can get in, in a day.  I do take a few bites of soup as well to feel like I'm at least getting some sort of food.  I'm looking forward to the pureed food stage to at least feel like I'm eating real food again.  Hopefully next Monday I'll get to progress to that stage.  I haven't really allowed myself to much downtime.  I got home on Friday and have been running errands everyday since to get my kiddos ready for school.  I do think I might have overdone it a little yesterday because I got cold and clammy so I came right home took a shower and went to bed.  I tried not to be gone all day today because of that reason and made sure I rested more often and I feel better this evening.  I'm glad I didn't take off next week and only took 2 weeks off from work because I really feel like I'll be ready to get back in the grove of things soon.
