14 days since surgery June 8, 2010 12:16 pm Beware when you eat crackers, they fill you up fast. Before I knew it
Be the first to leave a comment.I had this pain in my chest. WOW Felt like throwing up, not a good thing. I felt kind of blah all day. Maybe it's the weather. It's rainy, and nasty more storms coming in tonight. Looking forward to some shut eye tonight, even though I have a feeling that with storms coming in, my collie will be waking me up. She doesnt do well. At least with me walking in the evening, she goes potty many times on our walk. Well tomorrow I go see the surgeon. Part of me wants to go, the other part doesn't the part where he pulls out the staples, doesn't want to go. OUCH!! Will talk to you tomorrow!
13 days since surgery June 7, 2010 12:51 pm Walk in the door of the house today, where my Collie had taken
Be the first to leave a comment.all the animals to the back of the house. It was the weirdest thing she came out as I was opening the door, and I was immediately hit with light hazy smoke. The first 2 rooms had a strange smoke odor. Definetly smelled electrical. So I went up and patted her head, told her good girl. An went to check it out, not knowing what it was, I waited for a bit then called 911, and of course 1 police car and 4 fire engines are brought out. There wasn't even a flame. But they found it was the refrigerator. I just cussed that refrigerator out this morning, because even though it's new, the shelves don't give you enough space. I guess I shouldn't of cussed at it. When we found out it was the refrigerator, lady at the local appliance store gave the number for Maytag. Can you believe this refrigerator had a Recall on it. When they come out to service it , no charge because it's their product, and they will fix the recall an hopefully that's the problem. But they won't be out until Saturday. So from going to the doctor again, again mind you. Trying to get my blood at the right level which I am there as of today, I have to go again on Friday. Just to make sure it didnt' move. Then on Wednesday I finally get to see my surgeon. An hopefully get these darn staples out. I was so tired today. I just feel like i'm exhausted. So after the lovely fireman left, an I made all those phone calls. I went to lay down. Fell asleep at 3:30 and woke up (not by choice) Mom had to come in an tell me it's possible we may have to get rid of every thing. I checked it, it's still very cold. So I got up an took meds and my protein drink and something to put in my stomach. So I thought well i better write about my day today. I didn't walk tonight, I don't feel guilty because I feel blah.
12 days since surgery June 6, 2010 2:25 pm Today was a busy day, My nephew graduated and today was his party.
Be the first to leave a comment.Also today I got the chance to visit with my grandson a little bit. He's visiting my ex husband, it would of been nice if the ex husband brought him to me, but my life would or can't work that way. So I had to drive out there to see him. I didn't really get that much time with him. But what little I did I was greatful for. Feeling stronger, every day. Today for lunch I had chicken and rice. Rice did not sit well. they say rice makes birds bloated, I think that's how I felt. Took all my vitamins and medicines, It's hard to remember what pills to take an this pill has to be spaced out from that pill. So many things to remember. Even though I was tired from the activities today, I still made myself walk.
11 days since surgery June 5, 2010 1:03 pm Hi
Be the first to leave a comment.Well today was a challenge for me. Mom had her highschool reunion 50 years. She went to a all girls Catholic School. An the clothes we ordered for her reunion had not arrived on schedule. So needless to say we had to go shopping. When I ordered the clothes, I'm thinking this will be perfect I can order them, not have to worry about taking her shopping an then I could have someone else pick them up. Totally amazing how life never goes according to plan. Well she was disappointed they didn't arrive. An she didn't want to go. Well I had to convince her to go, we would go buy her some clothes. Ok. So that mean't I had to drive again today, then I had to park the car, and walk into the JCPenneys store and hunt her down some clothes. Luckily she was easy to shop for. But I did make her try them on, cause I wasn't about to do this all over again. Needless to say, she looked very nice. Someone drove her there, and it's 10:00 and she's still there. I haven't had this much alone time since I moved in here and that was in March. It's very nice, but feels weird. Anyway I came home, and I rested all day. That trip to the store WORE me out!~ Anxious to hear how it went. I hope she's having a good time.
10 days since Surgery

June 4, 2010 2:14 pm I can't believe it's been 10 days since my surgery. Feels like forever!! I hate being limited to my duties. Can't lift that, can't do that. I see so many things I want to do, but I can't yet. An I know I'm not strong enough to do those things. But I sure would like someone to say, Go Ahead Sharon go for it. Listening? Yeah I don't hear anyone telling me that either. It really amazes me how fast the days go by. Seems like I wake up and poof it's 3:00 in the afternoon. By the time I wake up, fix me something for breakfast. This morning I had apple sauce. Lot's of things I like with No sugar. Apple sauce is not one of those things. Maybe it's because I was never a big apple sauce girl, but really it's just a smooshed up apple in a 3.9 oz container. LOL So anyway I take my shower and I have no idea where the day goes. Today, I went back to the doctor, my back hurts, where the clasp of the bra is, sort of freaked me out. Just to be on the safe side, I wanted to make sure it wasn't a clot. So I did something that was against Doctor's rules and I drove to the doctor. I did survive, and I'm not saying it was a wise decision. But I had no one else to take me, and I wanted to know. That's a scary issue. Turns out No blood clot. I'm very grateful. What is it ? Its like muscle spasms, I laid so long on that operating table due to the haital hernia and the gastric that 2 hours on my back of lying still, is not a good thing for anyone's body. An since my body isn't doing any multi tasking and moving this way and that it's stiff. So he told me to keep doing what i'm doing. Just let the body heal on its on. An I said, well my gf seems to think I'm walking to far, and she thinks I should cut my walking down. He said, you know your body better than anyone, when your walking do you feel tired feel you can't make it, then turn around and head home. But if you were comfortable with your walk then you were fine. So I held my head up a little higher and I said, Cool! They are trying to get my blood levels back up, I'm a blood thinner person, i have a history of DVTS =Deep Vein Thrombosis. I have taken coumadin for 22 years. An as soon as I can get more weight off, he's said I don't have to take them any more. AMEN!! They weighed me again today, lost 2 more lbs in 2 days, cause I was just there. So Since My pre-op and post op I have lost 32 lbs so far. The new foods I've tried so far is, ice cream made me gassy, vegetarian vegetable, doesn't bother me. Cream of wheat doesn't bother me either. Cream of mushroom, belched alot, also the same with Hot chocolate. But with my metabolism off due to the temperatures, I love hot chocolate keeps me warm. Before I hated the heat, now I love the heat. It's soo cold in this house with the air on, I'm usually turning it up and mom is turning it down. So I just go outside an watch the birds or read a book in the heat. An get this I don't sweat. WEIRD WEIRD Ok well everyone I'm off to lala land. I did not take a nap today, it was hard not to do that, but I want to sleep good Now you guys know you can always leave comments. Take care! |
