surgery sucks
Wow! It’s been longer than I thought since I posted! I lived through surgery on the 1st, but I am not happy. Having a rib removed is not quite as bad as I imagined, but it is not by any stretch, good. My shoulder and left half of my chest is killing me. The surgical site is starting to itch like you wouldn’t believe, and the pain meds make me sleepy and don’t seem to work all that well.
I was really depressed when I got home, because, according to the scale I gained 10 pounds in the 3 days I was at the hospital, but luckily, I lost all that + 3 more in the week since I’ve been home.
The up-side to all of this is that it has been nice having a little time off even if I feel like crap. I have read a ton of books in the last week. I had started re-reading all the Harry Potter
My second order of NS should be here any day now. There was a mix-up and it it didn’t ship until yesterday, so I am pretty much out of breakfasts and lunches. I had a ton of dinners left, which means I cheated even more than I thought *ugh*. I am going to have to commit to 100% NS in the next two months or I might as well quit it. I am also going to keep better track of what’s good and what’s bad. I sent a bunch of things back, but I am not sure what the status of those items are as far as making it back to me.
Finally, one the smoking front, I am proud to say it has been 53 days and I have almost saved as much money as it cost me to take the hypnosis class and purchase all those vitamins.
