I ain't no punk, but...

5/8/09But the gas from my surgery about made me into the biggest one ever... Oh my goodness! I didn't know I could hurt like that. When I had gastric bypass, I had a drain tube, because my liver was big and the drain tube was added as a precaution. Well, it must have helped with the gas I should have had after that surgery. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, but the gas from this surgery brought tears to my eyes and me almost to my knees. Bending over at the waist gave me some relief, but walking helped move it out where it needed to go. That was essentially the problem. There was no way to pass it; belching didn't work and neither did tooting. I couldn't do either to get relief.
Now that I've over-shared, I will say that this was a G-R-E-A-T decision for me. I'm freeeeee! *doing my happy dance*
Boredom has been my biggest foe since I cannot do any lifting and other strenuous stuff...basically clean my house like I want and need to do. So, I'm doing light loads of laundry by taking them to the washroom in stages, dusting and washing dishes. I'm released to go back to work on Monday, with some restrictions. On the weight-loss front, I'm seeing the scale move again. My triple chin is now 1 1/2 chins. Yeah me! Starting an exercise program has been very beneficial, even though I've not been able to walk much because of the storm fronts that have come through here the last two weeks. On it this coming week.
Stay focused and positive OH family!
