It's a Beautiful Day

Everytime I write about my issues and read replies the next day is so much better. It feels like "who was that girl who felt discouraged yesterday?"

I think I will feel better now that my scale is in the trunk of my husband's car. It will only come out on the 12th of each month.

I had gas so bad last night I came in the livingroom and slept in the chair. I don't think a horse could pass more gas than me. If you ever heard a horse fart you know what I mean. Between the sound and the smell I thought for sure my husband would wake up and gag. This gas is scary because I have to sit on the toilet because I am afraid it's not just gas.  Anyway my neck and hip hurts from trying to sleep on my side in a chair. I know I am not the only one that does this but sometimes I fart as quitely and slow as I can under the covers. It smells pretty bad under them and I just hope my husband does turn over and lift the covers.

Now if you knew me you would know that I almost never swear and using the word fart is me being bold. No one ever cussed in my house not even my husband. I guess it's because he lived with 4 females. My son from a previous marriage thinks it's weird here because no one cusses. This is not to say I I don't ever swear.

I am having my first cup of coffee today. It's 2/3rds decaf and 1/3 real coffee. I am not supposed to drink it at all for 3 months but I just wanted to break a rule once.

Yesterday I never got dressed. I had a 3 hour nap starting at 1pm. I had turned the AC on and closed all the curtains and mini-blinds. It was so dark and cool in my house. I probably thought it was time to hibernate. Then I wrote my pathetic post.

Thanks everyone for being so patient with me. I can actually say I am getting better and unless they decide to reopen me and fix the hematoma/seroma I will be completely well soon.
 

Hun I feel you on the gas, I need to rig air freshener to my hiney at times, even the dog runs away.  Glad you are doing better.  I had to learn a while back with one of my conditions.  When my body says rest, do it.  Otherwise I will be miserable.  So if I want to take a nap I do.  Plus you are still healing so your body needs that. 

Good morning Diana.  Glad your feeling a little better.  You and I and Tony need to get together sometime next week.  I do a little better each day.  Have you bought any Devrom tablets. They should help with the gas and BM smell issue.  I bought three bottles and haven't had to use any yet but I am sure I will.  Yesterday I actually got all my fluids and all my protein in.  Now if I can keep doing that and get some exercise going maybe I can jumpstart this little party we're having.
I am hoping this second drain will come out on Thursday.  
Give me a call if you want to chat.   I am going to go make beds, clean kitchen, and do some laundry.  Believe me that will be with many rest stops along the way.  
Here's a big hug to start out the day.
Your BFF

Glad your feeling a bit better today. In no time, you'll be out running around and having the greatest time ever. Take care and keep up the good work.

I'm glad you are feeling better! The sun IS shining. Keep up the good work.

HI Diana - I am so happy to hear that you feeling some better now!  I am feeilng better, too!  I think we are going to survive this!!!  We have to just keep pluggin away.

Good idea about the scale.  I need to hide mine - I can't help myself and then I get discouraged (which is stupid but I never claimed to be super intelligent lol).

Sorry about all the gas - I am fortunate that I have not yet encountered that ....I am sure my time is coming.

Oh Diana! You made me laugh with the whole farting subject...especially the horse part...glad you are feeling better!!
