Power outages SUCK!

Nov 22, 2015

Man alive.... What a recovery time I've been having!  

My surgery was on Weds., November 11.  I've lost about 8 lbs since then, but I've had a rought recovery.  

A strong wind storm blew over my area here in WA state and our power was out for 6 nights!  I went into the hospital on Wedsnesday and came home on Saturday night and then the power went out on Tuesday evening...  Our electricity came back on at about 6pm tonight (Sunday).  My bedroom got down to about 56 degrees... No warm soup...  Just Jello, pudding, and baby food.  Our wedding anniversary was on Thursday, so my mother-in-law got us a hotel room for the night, THANK GOD!  I was at my wits end.... No shower, no lights, no heat.... The break was nice.  I wanted to stay there another night but the whole hotel and pretty much all other hotels around were booked full.  I'm just so greatful the power is back on.  

Diet.  The hardest thing post-surgery, for me anyway, is not being able to chug my ice water.  I was always a fast drinker so it's very hard to do sips at a time for me... Sometimes I forget and start out chugging.  It's been a little hard being around people eating good things but all in all it really hasn't been too bad.  I get to start start pureed food on Friday so I am excited for that!  I have my first post-op appointment on Tuesday morning so I hope that goes well.  At least the hot water is back so I can take a shower before the appointment and not go in there smelly like an old rotten crawdad or something!  Haha!

Celebrate vitamins are AWESOME.  I paid $3.00 for a sample pack and I recieved it and ws really suprised regarding how much stuff they sent me!  What I have tasted so far has been excellent.  Crushing my pills isn't working so great for me so having a chewable option in as many pills as possible is a blessing.  It's really hard to mix so much bitter pill powder into a food and not gag.
