Three weeks later....

And I'm sick of pureed foods! My surgery went well...just little glitches along the way...nothing serious. I got my staples out last week and was surprised to find that on the way home I started "gushing" out the suture line. It was so bad I had to go back to the office and have them put more steri-strips on! But that was last week. This week everything is just about healed...and it looks pretty darned good! I have been able to d/c my diuretic for my BP and have cut my other BP med in half! My BP was dropping like crazy and it was making me sick. I feel so much better now that it's back to normal. I've been walking around the block and now take my puppy with me for the stroll. I'm going to increase my number of trips around beginning tomorrow. I have lost 34 pounds already! My knees don't hurt any more at ALL! My hips and back feel better every day. Up until this week I was taking two naps a day after the surgery...it is major surgery and it does take a lot out of you! This week I'm dozing maybe a half hour and that's it. Today I did a lot of housework, including the laundry. My partner is going to kill me when she finds out! Every day gets better and better.

Glad to hear you're doing well. I'm 3 1/2 months out and still feel like a sack of potatoes in the evenings. Hope this passes soon! Much success on your continued journey! Vick
