Good morning gang! I hope everyone had a fun and enjoyable Canada Day. We enjoyed a parade, bbq with friends and neighbors followed by fireworks so a great day July 1st. Thankfully the rain has been patchy this week so I've been able to get out for walks everyday... tonight I have an appointment at a local gym with the fitness advisor so I'm both nervous and excited.

Topic: RE: Hey all this is for the toronto western patients

Truthfully, it was SO quick when all was said and done. Registered at 8 a.m., had meetings with nurse and surgeon, went into surgery around 12:30- was back up in my room around 4. Anaesthic ALWAYS reacts weird with me and I have a VERY hard time waking up from it. So I was "awake" but would drift off again.. told my husband who was with me to go back to the hotel as I knew I would doze and wake a dozen times! I began drinking (out of medicine cups)- within a couple of hours and made a consistent effort to do so throughout the night. I had neither the wits nor desire to do anything except sleep and concentrate on drinking water when awake! I also started doing the deep breathing exercises they recommend (it's in the My Surgery binder they send you) by around 5 in the morning. At that point, nurse helped unhook me and I went to the bathroom (no issues peeing!)- then back and concentrating between breathing exercises (sitting on the side of the bed), dozing and drinking water and very diluted apple juice! Surgeon and team were in around 7 a.m., said everything went well etc. All in all, about three doctors were in and out - just quick visits. By mid-morning I was back and forth to the bathroom. Hear a lot of people complaining about gas, I was burping but only that! And no major discomfort. Your incisions are tender and stomach a bit achey simply because anything in your abdomen you feel. By noon was in a meeting with nurse who sent over what we should be doing (everyone who had been operated on either the same day or day before)- then we got our discharge papers and that was it! Outta there!

Didn't use ANYTHING i thought I would need! You wear double hospital gowns, are hooked up to an IV until they release you to get dressed and go to the meeting. I would recommend chapstick! Your lips get very dry!

any more questions, feel free to ask!

Good morning ,,, errr afternoon I guess. Yes last night was perfect,, sunny, warm and a slight breeze so my walk was wonderful. It's a pretty eventless week for me,, work, walks and still working away at some renovations. I did check out a gym on the weekend and the guy was super friendly and helpful,,, he gave me a full tour including a demo of the hydromassage chair. :) I could get used to that! The part I don't like is that he left a message for someone to call me, I didn't hear anything so called monday and left a voicemail for the lady he said to talk to and I still haven't heard back.

B - greek yogurt, strawberries

S - boiled egg

L - home made spring rolls

Nothing super exciting planned for today. Might go to the library. We have some books to return. I also really need a haircut. Last time I did it myself but I also enjoy going and getting the scalp massage and cut :)

Post-op four years and three months.

Breakfast - milk

Snack - carrots and PB

Lunch - maybe quesadillas - I'm going to try making black beans in the instant pot

Snack - cheese and pepperette

Dinner - tbd

Snack - SF pudding

All water and vits.
