2 weeks post-op

Feb 17, 2010

Well, I am two weeks post-op and I can say that I am doing pretty good.  I just have one complication.  I have a small infection on my left side.  It is very painful, both to the touch and to move about.  I have started an antibiotic and hopefully the infection will dwindle away.  I am set to go back to work on March 1st, so I am hoping to feel much better than I do at present.  I am progressing a little faster than I should with my diet.  I was supposed to be on full liquids the 2nd and 3rd week post-op.  However, I am eating soft solids now.  I am carefull to make sure that I can tolorate things before eating much.  Plus, the strangest thing has happened to me.  I used to hate drinking plain water.  I would have to flavor it with sugar free kool-aids and such.  Although, since I have had surgery, I crave nothing but water and no other drink will do.  Strange huh?  Well, enough for now.  I'll write more later down the road when I feel more up to it.
