Home for the holidays
Dec 23, 2006
Well everyone, I am home safely from the operation and the traffic coming from San Diego. I am so blessed. The operation went smoothly, no problems tolerating liquids, except for mild nausea the first day. I ran a fever and caught a cold. The coughing feels great on my tender tummy but oh well right? I want to thank everyone who posted warm wishes, positive thoughts and words of encouragment for me...they meant a great deal to me. My biggest challenge now is not drinking too fast...man I hate that tight full feeling and being so bored with liquids right now. I can't say that I am hungry but I would love to have other flavors in my mouth and Oh to chew again...simple pleasures huh?
Surgery date obtained
Oct 27, 2006
Well everyone, I got the call I have been waiting for...my surgery date is on Dec. 18th, 2006. I feel both stunned, excited and scared shitless...like oh my God it's really going to happen and please don't let me gain any more weight before The Day. I think I am still in shock because I have not felt the giddiness that I thought I would feel. Perhaps it's my conflict of starting a new job (this week) and then dreading that I'm going to have to request time off...horrible timing. I am torn between telling them now (crazy talk...been here a week and I need time off) or waiting at least until December to sort of spring it on them (but then they get to see what a fabulous employee I am).
Nothing to do really but continue to make better choices about what I eat and not kick myself when I screw up but just get back on the plan.
Hope you all have a great week-end and let me know your thoughts...
