Feeling alittle blue

Hi everybody, Boy this surgery has been quite a ride! I just had my surgiversary(is that even a word???) on Sunday, which means that I am offically 5 months out..yeah me! and I'm 73 pound down as of today..a few days ago I was 78 pounds down...what's with that??? I promise, I am being good. I guess the hormones are kickin' in. Today I went through some old pictures. I really didn't set out to do it. I just opened the door of my craft/gift/photos and memories closet..and this box fell down on me and all over the floor. I didn't want to spend the time to do it now cause I had other things on my plate for the day. I decided to just sit there and go through some pictures. Oh man...the water-works came out! I'm a very sentimental person anyway..but man..my hormones are working overtime today. My dog came over to comfort me..isn't it cool how animals can sence that you are sad or just in need of a good cry? I came across a picture of my mother-in-law holding my son. She past away 22 years ago. I loved her as if she were my own mother. I couldn't help thinking about when I took that photo, I didn't have any idea that picture would be one of the last ones that we would have of her. I haven't gotten into scrapbooking (yet??) but I truly wish I had taken more pictures of my family and kids growing up, my youngest is 16 and I really did slack off on the picture taking during his early youth, never to be recaptured. I truly had no idea what an emotional roller-coaster this surgery would possibly be for me so far. I just wanta tell you pre-oppers to hold on to your seats cause post-op is a whole new set of issues to sort through!!! I hope I didn't depress everybody out there in SMO-land, it's just a little bit different holding in my emotions on this leg of the race..anybody else??? HugsGinger
