Post Op May 26

May 27, 2009

My post op with Dr. Harris went very well.  I had no problems to report other than how hard it is to get the fluids/protein in.  I'm half way to what I should be getting.  I'm still getting a little tired in the afternoon, I'm at my best in the mornings.  He said that was normal and he wanted me to work on my fluid and protein.  Other than that they took out my staples, made me another appointment for June 15th and sent me on my merry way.  I'd lost around 17 pounds before surgery by my scales and mine and the doctor's are 2 pounds different so we figured I'd lost 8 pounds my first week.  I can't tell a difference in looking at myself, but my husband says my face looks a little thinner.  Of course for me that's the first place that looses then my neck to my waist.  Why, why, why can't it be from the hips and thighs first?  The doctor says I can't go to the gym for about another 3-4 weeks.  After that I've got to really work on the hips and legs.

My daughter left this morning, May 27th back to her apartment.  She has an interview as an intern with a Lawyer for the summer.  We're all hoping she gets it, because it will be great experience going into law school in August.  Being a college student she didn't really have any "professional clothes" so we went clothes shopping yesterday.  My husband had to go to the doctor on the 26th as he's been running a pretty high fever and said he felt like he'd been hit by a truck.  Of course he didn't have any other symptoms, tested negative for flu so they said he had a fever of an unknown origin.  His doctor sent him home and said if he didn't feel any better by today they'd do blood work.  Thank heavens the fever broke but he's dehydrated.  I was going to work this morning for 1/2 day, but he comes first and I have a very understanding boss.  I'm at home forcing fluids and spraying Lysol.
