Stuipidly overemotional and that's okay - I'm watching the end of the movie Unstoppable with Chris Pine and Denzel Washington this morning.  It's a typical action movie, with a happy ending (sorry for the spoiler, but i...

Like David Bowie.....Changes - Unlike last week when I stalled, the end of week 4 post op ended on a positive note but with some things on my mind that I thought I would share: 1.

Changing my mindset- minimizing not maximizing foo - I'm only 5 days post surgery, but I find myself having to consciously rethink things. When I have been on diet plans my goal has always been to maximize my volume while minimizi...

Home again! - Well, after a quick less than 24 hour readmission, I am home again, on antibiotics, and feeling better.  Here's what I've learned so far: 1. My surgeon is a boss and I'm tou...

Readmitted and it feels so bad! - I don't remember who sang that song "Reunited" but it has been going through my head since I was readmitted last night. Turns out, if you are running fever >102 they like you to...

Swollen like sausage casing 48 hours post op - While I am grateful to be home, I can't believe how much fluid they packed into me!  Has anyone else had this experience and have a suggestion what to do?  I have been sipping w...

36 hours post op - You know how they say behind every great man is a great woman?  All I can say to that is Amen!   Surgery was at 3 pm and i didn't make it up to the floor until 8pm.  Like we...

I'm scared - There, I said it.  My surgery is less than 2 weeks away and I'm starting to freak out.  I guess that's normal, at least from what everyone tells me, but that doesn't mean I like...
