November 2nd...VOTING DAY!!!

Nov 02, 2010

Got out and voted today.  Wish there weren't so many people running for office...had a devil of a time standing up straight at the voting booth for so long.  But I managed, and hopefully a few of my candidates will actually win.  Couldn't wait to get back home to pop my pain medication in. 
Was feeling sorry for myself yesterday...the "my family just doesn't understand what I'm going through" routine.  Not that the feeling isn't a valid one, I just hate letting myself get down feeling that way.  Of course they don't understand what I'm going through....they can still eat whatever they want to.  If I never put another spoon of brothy soup to my mouth that will be okay by me.  Probably felt actual hunger for the time since my surgery...and it hit in a major way.  I think I could smell what everyone on my block was cooking (of course I couldn't but the phantom cooking odors made me think I could).  And no matter what I put in my mouth there was no relieving the desire to eat.  I'm still having trouble getting 2 servings of protein down a day...and 64 oz of liquid.  Trying, but just not making it.  I should definitely get 2 servings down today though...yippee!  And still getting some form of exercise in daily.
Over 12 lbs of weight gone since a week ago!  I'm on cloud nine...but finding it's a lonely cloud.  Thinking my family would be jumping up and down with happiness for me and I get "that's nice" instead.  Really guys?!!!  Don't hold back on your enthusiasm.  Okay..pity party's over.  I'm happy with my progress and that's all that matters.
