Major scare tonight, almost 12 weeks out. Funny though!

 OMG.. I was just about to freak out tonight --- So I'm having a coffee, a treat for me since I wasn't allowed to have them during my 3 week pre-op, or for two months post op. Every sip I took, I felt the warmth through my stomach. At first, it was a soothing feeling, but it got hotter and hotter, and a little lower than my newly sleeved stomach would have extended. I felt my side, under my rib to my waist -- it was hot to touch and feeling increasingly more discomfort as each sip went on.

I'm starting to freak out. I lift my shirt, and touch my skin -- it's hot to touch in the exact spot of the pain, and no where near my where my tummy would be inside me. I'm a bit more freaked out this time. Repeatedly sipping my tea, feeling the heat, and touching my skin. 

So I'm thinking -- OMG --- Could I have a leak this far out? Is this a fukkn leak.. and the coffee I'm consuming is pouring outside of my stomach in that area where I feel the pain and heat?

Then.. I realize... I'm leaning against the power adapter to my laptop! You know.. that box.. that's supposed to be on the floor so it doesn't get too hot? Well it was wedged between me... (who was leaning on it with every sip of coffee I took) and the couch -- getting hotter and hotter with each sip and lean.

Crazy.. where my mind took me! I'm not a hypochondriac, but I was so scared when I felt this strange heat a little too low, especially with all of the issues and complications that people I know have been struggling through lately.

Things aren't always as they seem. lol Lesson learned.
Thought you guys would think this was kinda funny = )

 You guys are sweet : )
I was hoping it was as funny to you all as it was to me!
I was hoping I didn't come off sounding mental.. haha

I'm really not a worrier, this was the 1st thing I was totally freaked out about.

I can still picture myself sipping..   feeling under the left side of my rib/waist area.. thinking.. 
OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD NOOOOOOOOOOO     = )

I just have to laugh... at myself mostly!
