Super Saturday Rol Call
WOW - I haven't gotten to start this in ages!
Amelia decided that 5:15 was a great time to get up, so here we are. No real plans today. Hanging out at home again. I am not feeling so great again. I got my blood work results back yesterday and my hemoglobin levels dropped since last month so I have another appt monday. I am feeling the effects of this pretty bad.
Enjoy the gorgeous weather today!

Wow! Look at you starting roll call, Liz!! I hope you're soon feeling better!!
Got to the beach around 11:30 last night and got unpacked. Today will be time on the beach, and we need to get some walks in. We're both feeling the effects of not walking for a couple of weeks.
Time to go make a cup of tea and also feed the kitties. Have a wonderful day, my friends!!

Good morning , PA!
Liz, hope you are okay, but maybe you'll need a little more time home from work....lol!
Today is more sipping, walking and healing. I am feeling a little better each day, still need the pain meds though. I was given liquid Tylenol with codeine, so it's not the real heavy stuff.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Saturday Morning. Struggles seem to abound in areas that i was not expecting. My wife who also had VSG in January (i just had mine a week ago); does not seem very supportive but seems to think she is an authority. I think it is sex reversal. She will not just listen when i am struggling with the clear fluids only. She is also so wrapped in the changes in her own life that her support is basically not there. OR is it (this is what she says), I am overly sensitive making mountains our of mouse turds. Oh well, what i can do is the best i can with what is in front of me. Today car wash for my daughters cheerleading squad. Party for a friend of mine's daughter who is going away to college. Spend time with my children and be grateful for all I have.
morning Liz.. hopefully Mia will take a nice nap today so you can too. Please get all the rest you can until you can get your levels straightened out.
Today has me headed to synagogue--haven't been there at all since Siehara left, been too busy.
After synagogue home to change into my formal wear (black dress I tried on last week, dolled up with fancy jewelry and shoes). I will then either head over to Sarah and David's or wait for them to pick me up so we can head south to the wedding of a good friend of ours from synagogue.
It's going to be a long, but joyous day all around.
Off to the showers.. I didn't get in until almost 3, so I'll definitely be sleeping in the van on the way to the wedding.
Bring on the espresso!!!!

Hey Liz - glad to see you posting - sorry that it was so early for you and Mia. And - I agree with Deb - looks like you might need more time home to get those blood levels back to normal. Maybe another month or so! :)
So - I took a benedryl for the itching last night - I knew it would have been a mistake. I don't know the last time I took one. I tried to sleep - and to no avail, for the first two hours - I would doze off and wake up with a rapid heart beat - I hate that feeling. I finally fell asleep and slept rather well for about five hours, but I can do that WITHOUT benedryl, so I will NOT be doing that again - I will just deal with the itchiness that comes with healing.
Today is another day of healing and recuperating. I find that I have energy in the mornings. Play a game with the kids, do the bills, talk with friends, whatever - but the afternoons I am exhausted. I have been napping and then just sitting for the rest of the evening. Thankfully there have been Phillies, (And Eagles last night) games to watch and give me something to do. I don't even feel like reading or doing any crossword puzzles. I do NOT like just sitting around. As much as I get overwhelmed when there is too much to do - doing nothing is just as annoying! I want to find the happy medium! I do think we are going to the market today - Larry will be with me so that I will NOT lift anything, but I need to get out of the house as often as I can.
Hope you all have a Super Saturday!

Good morning Liz and PA.
I can totally relate to the low blood levels Liz. Hang in there hun and im sending you good vibes for your appt on Monday.
Today seems like it might actually be a relaxing day for me. I am supposed to be getting some friends and family visiting. Im looking forward to it.
My nurse told me they are taking me off my IV today, that will be a nice change of pace. Hopefully I can get to walk around a bit more now. I get so tired so easily, especially in my legs. This setback interrupted my rehab after my surgery. Its not like me to feel weak. Anyway!
Hey Steffi, have you posted any pics of the post op results? I hope your feeling ok.
