I made my first return trip to the surgeons office yesterday. I was looking forward to it despite the long drive. If there is one thing I knew it was that it was time for the staples to come out. I got to the office a bit early and they seemed pretty light on patients. I got in early and got out early. The first part was to get a new line on vitals and of course weight. I was excited to see what I had lost, but when I finally stepped on the scale I was a bit dissapointed. I had lost 14 pounds...

It has been two weeks since I went under the knife, so it is about time I jot down some impressions.

I definitely would not say I planned for the best outcome, but maybe should have set my sights a bit lower on what it would be like immediately post op.

I went in at the butt crack of dawn to get the ball rolling... changed into a lovely hospital gown and took care of the short list of pre op things they had for me to do. I hopped on a scale, got an IV started etc....

Well, I came home yesterday afternoon. I couldn't wait to get out of the hospital, cuz I was uncomfortable. Now I am at home and uncomfy here as well. I am not in as much pain as I thought I would be, but I am still unable to do certain things. My husband insists on waiting on my hand and foot (I am not complaining). But he is not taking care of himself, he is not eating.
So, I can't wait until I am able to do things for my family again.
While I was at the hospital I couldn't...

At last I can final post again. Well, giving nuff thanks and praises, I've made it to 50. It seems really weird saying that. 50 use to seem such an old age. I'm optimistic about the future, I'm grateful to have made it thus far, and would now like to improve my health and quality of life. Later this evening I'll be celebrating with family and close friends. I've choosen an Italian restaurant located at Canary Wharf (Amerigo Vespucci). Tomorrow I'm hoping I can get a pedicure a spa treatments....
