Home Sweet Home!!!
Jul 13, 2009
Well we just got back from San Francisco and I'm so relieved to be home! I am and will always be an island girl! Thank you Miss Amy for being my angel, I apologize if my husband wasn't very helpful but he was really besides himself while I was in surgery. He just told me to thank you for everything!!!Surgery....wow was I in for a rude awakening. I thought I'd be up and about right after surgery....try more like the next morning. I think the anesthesia really kicked my butt and that morphine too. I needed to stay over an extra night but that worked out since I wasn't getting a lot of fluid down.
My little sis would stop by my room and get me up to go walking with her and that was nice! By the time we left the hospital I think I only took one pain killer and that was it! I've been taking more of the anti nausea meds just to be on the safe side, as well as all of my vitamins!!! Other than a little ache and pain here and there, I'm just peachy.
Liquids is tough but it's not that I'm hungry. I just see something or smell it and I want to eat it. So I settle for smelling instead! After all, we were in the middle of San Francisco. I knew food had a psychological and emotional hold on me but I never realized how much until now. I love my new tool!!!
Thank you to Dr. C, Nicole, Amy, Leila and the great staff at CPMC for taking such great care of my little sis and I. We did it!!!
I'm going back to work on Wednesday, I'm an Office Manager and I usually sit all day anyway. But that's all about to change once I'm cleared to exercise....more than the walking we're already doing. Boy do my calves hurt!
Well I just wanted to check in and I look forward to going through this new and fantastic journey with you all!!!!
Blessings,
Puna
P.S. Does anyone have any tips on how to make protein drinks just a bit more tastey??? Or is that an oxymoron???
