UGH!

Sep 21, 2010

Well I now have put myself in some pain. I want to say before I go any further, that after surgery I was in a tremendous amount of pain. Many people have told me that the next day they were shopping, this was not the case for me. I could barely move for a week and a half and found out that a few days after I got home I was allergic to Lortab, when I called the dr's office to let them know, they told me to only take tylenol... The pain on some days was sever and others it was minimal. On my 2 week appt I did refuse any pain meds because I dont like taking them.As of yesterday I was doing wonderful, Now I wish I had taken him up on his offer.

The story goes like this, I suffered an asthma attack late last night. I always keep my inhaler on my night stand for easy access. Well last night as I twisted my body and attempted to roll over to retrieve this inhaler, I felt this HORRIBLE pain in my abdomin. It was a stabbing pain and would not go away. I finally fell back asleep and of course as I woke to get the kids to school, I felt horrible, pain and nausea. Why did I twist this way, I have no flippin clue just know I needed my medicine.
So later this morning I get a call for my oldest sons school to come and pick him up. As I get into my van, I feel it again, I must have twisted or something, I dont know but I had tears in my eyes.
I have a call in to my surgeons office but I cant guarantee they will get back to me in a timely manner, gotta love the military. Until then, I am sitting on my a$$ and doing absolutely nothing. I will walk to the bus stop to get my son just to see how it goes, other than that, NOTHING!

Days have no end

Sep 20, 2010

Went last week for my 2 week post op and had a good meeting. I was 13 pounds down since surgery. My Doc even smiled (made me jump a little , he never smiles)
Definately told him if I never drink another protein shake, it will be way too soon. Over all I had a great visit. I go back Oct 1 for my 4 week.
Now here I am allowed only what is considered soft foods and I am completely unsatisfied with them. I love my yogurt and cottage cheese but damn there has to be more to what I can have with this blasted diet. I tried couscous, Yea, it came up as soon as it went down. I cant wait for the time comes and I can have something else. I do not want to push it very far but anything other than cottage cheese,cheese sticks and greek yogurt. The staff at NMCP will give you a short list of approved foods but never go into any real detail, I wish I could figure them out. Anyway, the days are melting into themselves and it seems as if it is the same thing over and over and over. I will make it. I will not fail. Failure is not an option.
