One week ago today

May 17, 2010

A week ago at this time I was in surgery.  I posted a post the night before about being at peace with my decision, not sure what I would be feeling a week later.  Well, here it is a week later and, I am sore, though not as sore as I was a few days ago, I miss food; I am not hungry but it has been 3 weeks since I really ate anything and I truly just miss it, I miss sleeping in bed with my husband, and I am struggling figuring out what my pouch is trying to tell me when.  Yet, I am still at peace with this surgery.  The unfounded fears I had about the surgery of course did not come true.  I think as a whole I have done well.  I came home on Wed after surgery on Mon.  I am not drinking enough protein, but am getting plenty of fluids in.  I am able to move around pretty well, and am taking a short run to the grocery store with my daughter this morning.  The gas has subsided quite a bit.  And, I was able to shave my legs and blow dry my hair this morning, though I felt a little tired after.  So, I do not know what happens from here.  I only know I keep doing what I have been instructed, and pray that it all pays off.  So, yes, I am still peaceful, and, I will add to that, hopeful, that this truly will change my life for good.  I know it will not change my circumstances, or make all my problems go away, but so much will change because of it.  I do want to keep my eyes open, though, as reality states that not all the changes could be good.  But many will, and for  those, I am hopeful.
