Recovering nicely

Hi everyone!  Thanks to those of you who have responded to my posts and have sent encouraging words.  I haven't been on the computer a lot so I have not responded individually, please accept my apologizies for this.  I just don't get on the computer at home often.   As far as recovery, it is going well.  I feel pretty good most of the time.  I am really struggling with my energy and stamina lately but I am trying to get back to eating lots of protein and maintaining my vitamin intake.  Seems as if my stomach isn't really liking food lately so my appetite isn't very good.  I am trying to up my protein with my hot chocolate, peanut butter and cottage cheese.  Meats are not good with me right now.  I am not sure if that is becuase of my surgery or just a phase.  I am sure it'll pass.   My short term disability was only approved through this Friday, which means I have to go back to work next week.  I am not quite ready for that but I guess I don't have a choice.  I have not leave left so to take off of work means I lose pay.  Hopefully, since I have a desk job, it'll be okay.   My scar is looking really good.  I think I have hemmroids (sp?) and that is quite bothersome.  I hope that as things wake back up that will resolve itself.  I still can't sleep on my side, too sore, but that is to be expected.  I hope to post pictures soon, maybe by this weekend.  We have to find our usb cord for the camera first.  You know how things seem to disappear when you move!  I miss everyone and hope that I can see y'all soon!!  Whens the next get-to-gether?   Hugs, Robin

Hey Robin! Good to see you posting your progress.   Can't wait to see how great you look. Hugs, Mo

Robin, so glad that the healing is going well.  You know what they say - take it one day at a time.  Hemmroids suck!!!  Best of luck with that situation.  Wish I had a magic cure to get rid of them in a timely fashion.  Take it easy and continue to baby yourself when you can, once you're back to work.  Find that USB cord!  Curious minds want to know.

Hi Rob - I'm so glad you're doing well, and equally sorry I haven't been in touch.  Had a lot going on lately, the worst of it being having to have to put Molly the Beagle to sleep last week.  Truly horrible, but the best thing for her. Anyway, please call if you need anything and I'll keep you posted on future get-togethers.  As you can imagine, my mind is full of Molly right now, but I'm thinking about a pumpkin farm/hayride thingy for sometime in October. Take care, Tia
