Bummed Out....

It's been a little over a week from knee surgery.  I'm healing well and hope to get the staples out next Monday.  I hobbled myself all the way down stairs (split entry home) and weighed myself.I AM UP 10 POUNDS......STILL!!!!!!!!!!!! Obviously it is water weight - I am having a hard time getting water in; my urine STINKS to high heaven (tmi, sorry) but the home nurse has told me over and over that the pain meds (oxycontin and oxycodone) are very difficult to flush from the system and makes your body hold on to everything.

In addition, I've got some family stuff going on with my siblings and mom.  I need to detatch from everything and its proving very very difficult.  I can't control people, places and things...basically if it's a noun, I have no control. LOL  It's not like I didn't foresee this train wreck happening. ::sigh::

So let's drink our water, take our vitamins and I'll throw down a few pain meds for me - sorry, I can't share. Chug, chug!

Jana - so very sorry for what you are going through.  I'll keep you in my prayers.  Time, and lots of water will hopefully help!  lys

Those painkillers also slow your bowels, so some of that weight may be because you are backed up. I'm glad you are healing well, and I understand the family stuff. I am ready to run over my husband lately.

Jana, hang in there girl!  You'll be zipping around in no time!

Jana, I hate to hear that you are having such a rough time!  Stay strong and put your health at the front of the priority line, OK?  Wishing you a speedy recovery and the ability to deal with your family issues with minimal affect on your journey.  HUGS  Jeanine
