Rainy Saturday Check In

Good Morning.

it's wet out.  so wet my 'sunday paper" is soaked.  I have to call and get another one sent out.

the dogs are rowdy and playful and that makes Harley bark.   NOT good in a townhouse...

Hubby is gone for the day... and i'm contemplating what i want to do.

have a great saturday everyone.

Morning Nessa!

Why does it seem that lately the weekday weather has been a lot nicer than our weekend weather??  lol

Not sure what we'll get into today either. Maybe a movie and some cleaning.  I need to color my hair.  Doggies are fed, have been out and now they are working on their morning naps.  Life is good.

we really need the rain however so i'm not complaining.
i should clean.
i did start a load of laundry...
i need to get to my walmart to get cranberry pills and Milk thistle for Hannah...  see me moving?  NOT i've been up since 7 and i'm still in my jammies.

I'm contemplating what to make for breakfast (once i start eating i don't stop so i'm thinking long and hard on this)
I am sure i'll nap later.

Morning :)
It is wet up here too... but the birds are chirping away... I left the living room windows open last night and they chirped me right out of bed before 7am on a Saturday.

This was the first night I have really slept since coming home from the hospital, so I was pretty unimpressed to be woke up! LOL  Thank goodness for Tylenol PM!  I finally went and bought some last night after checking with Dr. A's office.

On another note, I *THINK* I have lost 34lbs since my pre-op teaching class on the 9th...   Of course for a bit part of that I was on a liquid diet, and then surgery days with no food/drink, etc.  but it is progress and I am ready for it!

Stay dry and enjoy your weekend, I am already dreading Monday and going back to work!

I can't believe you are going back to work on MONDAY!  OMG  
were you able to swallow the tylenol PM?   is that a pill???

and 34 pounds is AWESOME!

I was able to swallow the Tylenol PM... actually I swallowed my first pills before leaving the hospital (small pain pills) but my first day home I was required to take prilosec as well as my normal pills and I could swallow them with no issues... I just make sure to do them one at a time...

I am pleased with 34... I just wish I knew what I was the day of surgery - hoping that on Wednesday Dr. Averbach will tell me I was weighed on the operating table, etc.

When do you see Dr. A again?

I'm so excited for you!

Wednesday afternoon :)

I ate something today for the first time that did not agree with me though :(  I made chicken salad and either ate fast or something... maybe it was celery salt?  I have had chicken salad for lunch a few times and it hasn't bothered me, but something was missing, so I added the celery salt... NOt sure what i did, but the dog got to eat my lunch so he is feeling pleased if nothing else!

Chicken SALAD?  so you aren't on liquid still?


I have no idea what DVR orders after surgery but i would imagine he's on par with Dr. A.

Wednesday huh?   and you're still going back to work on Monday!  wow.  I would at least wait till a follow up with the doc.  You are a brave girl.

Dr. A scrapes liquids on day two before you even go home and you more to pureed foods!  Anything not much thicker than applesauce is okay as long as it is pureed...  I added plain yogurt and light mayo to canned chicken (recipe from the NUT) with a bit of blending it works well....  Guessing I ate it to fast or something, although I just stirred the celery salt in, so maybe it was that...  :(

Dr. A's orders say I can drive as soon as I am off pain meds, I didn't say I was going to WORK, just that I was going in... LOL I have been "assigned" a helper for a week or two until I feel good enough to do it all myself, and will take breaks and eat as needed...

Feeling pretty good right now,  I still have some pulling around my belly button, but should be able to handle it...
