Continued Recovery

Dec 24, 2010

Well, I feel even better today.  I am having to take my pain pills much less.  I am still taking my pepsid 2 times daily.  Today I get to start eating sugar free  pudding, my protien shakes and whatnot.  One thing I've noticed is that everytime I take a sip of water (and especially when I need to take my pills which I cut into small pieces so I can drink smaller amounts of water, my tummy gets really upset.  Sooooo, today I decided to warm my water and what a difference.  I was beginning to worry that I would be sick to drink water, but not anymore.  I will just drink it as if I'm having hot tea.  I am limited to one serviing of decaffinated tea per day because even decaf can dehydrate you.  I still have no appetite whatsoever.  It's weird because my husband is cooking food for himself that smells fabulous, but I have no desire to eat.  I have more energy today that yesterday.  Every day is better and better.  My incisions look like they are beginning to heal as well.  most are just a tiny thin line.  My doctor uses what looks like superglue to close.  I can shower and wash them well, but I cannot soak in the tub for a while.  (I don't have a tub, so not a biggie):)  I'm going to my sisters house for Christmas eve tonight.  Looking forward to getting out.  Lastnight my husband and I went to walmart and ended up walking around for almost 2 hours.  It felt great.   I was a little more sore lastnight when I went to bed... I'm sure because of our extended excursion. Tonight I will be able to lay down on the couch if I get tired. 
I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays (whatever you celebrate during this time)  I thank each of you for your input on this website.  I am positive it is what has helped me do as well as I have.  I'm so blessed to have your help.
