HOW ARE MY BABIES TODAY?
Oh my goodness - I feel like I can actually say I am beginning to feel human again! I am using my spirometer regularly and am making great gains (up to 2500 - yeah - preop I was at 4500 and after surgery 500). I have been out walking at least twice a day for 10-20 minutes each time. I have not weighed yet. My belly is still swollen/bloated so it really doesn't feel like I have lost. I have a doctor's appt this afternoon (with my primary care to follow up on the pnemonia) so that will be my first weigh in, almost two weeks out. Then I have an appt with my surgeon next week so that will be my second. I went on my first outing/shopping yesterday and it felt amazing to get out of the house! My kids were happy too! We very rarely sit home and to be home for a week was tough! My daughter turns 8 on Sunday so we are getting ready for her party. She is being very sweet and agreed to something small since I wasn't sure how I would feel about having a big party for 20 7/8 year olds. She is having a sleep over with two of her friends. I am looking forward to it because their momma's are going to stay over too (my ex and my best friend). So the girls are going to go swimming, have pizza, do crafts, cake, ice cream and presents. Then they will get in their sleeping bags and watch movies. It ought to be fun! Anyway - probably more info than you were looking for as far as an update but what the heck!
How is your foot? That blister was nasty!! How are things with the gf? Better I hope!! And of course: still you!!
Ok Melissa - Your turn!!
