So It's been over 3 1/2 weeks since surgery, and I think I am doing quite well. We have had problems with getting the right dose of pain medsbut that is to be expected when I have been 150 mgs of morphine for over 10 years. Not quite right yet but we'll get there.I have found the last 4 days that I am taking more and the muscles in my lower back, glutes and down my legs are really hurting. Not good as I want to get out and do more walking! Especially on a beautiful day like today!! 3 degrees and sunshine.
I have made it through the clear fluids, ( I never want to see chicken broth again!) and almost through the full fluids. (Don't mind them at all especially when I made my own cream soups) I cheated a little with the clear fluids I started having some really runny cream of wheat a couple of days early. My body wanted more!! and on full fluids I have been having some cottage cheese that is either put through the bullet or chewed to maseration!
I found out that my scale in the bathroom is out about 10 pounds!! Talk about discouraging!! I thought I was 241lbs and when I went to the clinic for a check up found out I was 250lbs!! oh well Audrey was quite pleased as I started out at the clinic at 278. 23 lbs is just fine for 3 1/2 weeks. I have to stop being impatient!!
I go and see Dr. P. Hong tomorrow and I'm sure she will be quite happy too! Then to see my GP next tuesday to see what my blood work says.
I have lost inches!! 5 gone from my waist!! So if we can get the pain under control again, I will be a very happy camper....lol Never satisfied eh??
