One week out

Jul 15, 2009

Well it's one week out.  Finally, for the first time, I feel "normal" tonight.  Like I can do this journey.  

The hospital stay was rough, I needed a blood transfusion, home recovery difficult...but now I can drink lots of water and eat a little soup and it doesn't feel like such a struggle.   Just have to remember to stay hydrated and take my supplements. Above all, right now.  The protein shakes.... gonna work on varying them now that I'm sipping for some enjoyment.  I really didn't care for taste or anything til today.  It was all just a yucky feeling. Stomach is settling down now and I'm able to walk around, went to the dr. today, etc.   Mornings are a struggle... I feel weak and my digestive track is just waking up so thats a big, uncomfortable effort!  Afternoons get better, and evenings are the easiest.  I went off my pain medication today so that is exciting!  I can drive now!   And I'm down 7 lbs. this week, so that too is good news!!
