Over Did it. So tired
Well Surgery was last Thursday, Home hospital Saturday night. Worked Monday, Tuesday from home. Wednesday, drove to 2 appointments this morning, was done by 1 and heading home. I could have feel asleep in the car. Got back home, checked up on business emails and then phone started ringing. Boy by that time I was one cranky guy. sent a couple emails I probably shouldn't have to some higher ups at the bank basically stating.
I can't do any more for you! I just had surgery! Took walk, tried to take a nap, 40 minutes later realized..boy maybe I shouldn't send emails when I'm tired, cranky and just got done with a surgery.
Talked to nurse today, I told her about my intolerance to dairy, she said to try it again in a few days. I told her could I try Atkins shakes..? "NOPE!"
How about can I have a 35 calorie Fudgescicle, it has 2 grams of protein? "NOPE!, Marc, we don't want you snacking...your setting yourself up for failure" So back to 3 meals a day of 2 ice cube sizes of pureed protein. Boy that will get old fast.
Going to try to take another walk, puree up some scallops tonight in a wee bit o olive oil and see how that does.
But I think the past few days I've done way more then I should have. My whole body hurts. all I want to do is go in my hot tub, but doc said no hot tub for 6 weeks! God even my most basic of pleasures, the hot tub have been taken away. I'm glad I had the surgery, but I just want to be able to at least soak in a hot tub outside.....sigh. Boring old shower to relax me will have to do again tonight I guess.
I'm on my 6th day on this puree'd diet. I hope my brain, just gives in and goe's with the flow soon. Brain seems to want to fight me. God how I want a piece of Pizza!
Friday night (one week out from surgery) I have my first true test. I have to go to a good friends suprise 50th bday party at a bar. I don't drink really, so that is no issue, but fried food I"m sure will be surrounding me. I plan on bringing a pitcher of cyrstal light in the car and just go back out for refils and come back in. The food though. Man, Might have to ask my wife to offer some incentive after the party, so I can think of other things to look forward to soon after I leave so I can get through it.
