I must be feeling better!

My DH just walked out the door leaving me a "To Do" list of things for the day! The best part is that I am so glad to have the house to myself I am more than glad to do his list! I just weighed and the losing has finally begun here! Hooray! I knew it would--but it sure is good to see. I really swole up post op--my abdomen still measures 1" bigger than pre-op, but is getting so much better. I can get in and out of my waterbed and most other places unassisted now. I can walk staight without pain. The temptation is going to be to overdo on the lifting side. I can't drive for a week, so I am going to try to work on getting my house in order this week, a little at a time. DH does not know it, but he will have a "To Do" list of his own when he gets home to move the things I can't! It feels good to be having some normal thoughts. Gotta remember to drink though! Joy

Gee, Joy... Can I give your DH MY 'honey-do' list? I don't have a honey to do the stuff! I gotta go thru "Hire-A-Honey" and it gets costly... It's really the only 'down' part 'bout being happily re-singled! I was smiling reading your post. THIS is what I'm looking for...when everyone starts returning to the normal things (ah, um, eating excepted...hehehe...). Have a fun but S-L-O-W day doing that stuff!!

I think your chances of getting the job done (this year) with Rent-A-Honey may be better than mine are though! At least with less complaining Glad to hear from you! You are at the top of my prayer list, Madam Queen. Joy

SO happy that you're feeling better. It really sounds as though you've had a remarkable recovery-- I am am very glad for you. Now I have a nosy question: What kind of a to do list did your dh give you? I think my dh once tried to give me one years ago and I flung it back at him, probably with the comment of if you can think it you can do it. On the oher hand I don't give him lists of what to do either. Just curious as to how other couples live. Louise

Serious bad stuff, like... "I didn't give Susie (the dog) her medicine or let her out--would you do that?" "If you do a load of towels, I could use some clean underwear" LOL! So far I did let Susie out--thanks for the reminder---dog medicine coming up! Joy

((((Joy)))) I am so glad to see you are losing. How much so far??? I can't wait to see the scale at the docs office!!! Bethany AKA Da Offishal Riddler 6 Days into NewPouch and feeling great! A riddle a day will keep the Marchers pounds AWAY! :jump

I think 6 so far. (all in the last 2 days). Joy

So glad all is well. Maybe I just made a mistake. I asked a Sr Citizen from church to stay with me during the day right after I get home from the hospital. Mainly to answer the door and phone for a couple days so my girlfriend can get back to the homefront.
