good morning.
my computer is making me nuts it’s acting up. while I love firefox I really think it’s part of the problem. this morning my bookmark toolbar is missing and all my bookmarks are not accessible. good thing I know most of my fav sites by heart.
so I missed writing yesterday. I went to the surgeon yesterday to have him look at the alien stomach. It’s pretty bad. He prescribed steroids a six day course. I’m hoping it helps. I’ve had one day so far and I”m not feeling it. oh well. Yesterday was a better fluid and a better protein day. I’m going to try the same today. discovered that my favorite water bottle 
when filled half way with ice then filled with water to the top then having protein stuff added (in this case half a protein bullet and a packet of Designer Whey Biggest loser raspberry protein 2 go powder is quite palatable and I drink almost all of it. 2 of those along with my hot chocolate get me my 64 oz per day and enough protein… so doable.
What is amazing to me, is that I’m really feeling good enough that I could go back to work. today is one week out and IF I Had to I could go to work! amazing. truly amazing.
oh well i think that to celebrate that, I”ll make a protein drink, and hit the couch for a nice benadryl buzz. I do have pictures of the alien baby belly but it’s just too scary. NOTE TO SELF: make sure ALL doctors know how allergic to steri strips I am. NOT bandaids. NOT latex just steri strips. a rare allergy…. figures.
here I am. oy. home alone. it’s good. I’m gonna nap. food is being recorded at sparks people right now. but here was my day:
get up
itch
eat cottage cheese (2 tablespoons)
itch more
drink
take a walk (yes I took a walk a short one I don’t feel great)
drink
lunch was about 4 oz of protein shake
drink more
couch.
drink more
nap
dinner was oatmeal with milk and protein drink 3 tablespoons oatmeal. did not eat it all. go figure.
not sure why the posts are not updating.
good morning. such that it is. I started with nausea again last night. one of those magic little pills really helped they are called ONDANSETRON HCL 4 mg tablet and they are tiny but a huge help and even better
I’m allergic to steri strips. I”m itchy. and sore and RED. I see the doctor today to have the JP drain pulled. It’s three days since surgery. it’s draining a lot I wonder if he’s going to pull it.
my other joy (NOT) is the tummy rumbles and the potty joy that it entails. OY VEY! I had no clue that you could poop liquid… so it’s not just farts… so every time i feel gassy i have to get up out of the recliner and hit the bathroom. at least i’m getting my exercise.
well hi there. tuesday was surgery. i cried in the preop room the heprin stung. i was stressed. I got weighed at the hospital. the nurse said ‘it’s in his orders I’ve NEVER seen that before.” wow… wonderful.. yay me.
I remember being wheeled somewhere… then I remember waking up in recovery… NO Memories of anything else…..
I was not in recovery long, then up to a private room.
brian stayed most of the day. dilauded makes me itch and it makes me nauseous.
while i love my doctor the nursing staff is so overwhelmed I had to sit in a chair for 2.5 hours before someone came to me. and i asked for help. after shift change it was hours before i met my nurse…. this is wrong. just totally wrong….
angie bless her heart.. stayed with me all of wednesday we walked laps 2 laps twice. I was home by dinner time the day after surgery.
not drinking enough.
emptied the JP drain once, they did not give me the cup to measure so I had to make one.
it got hot here now… figures. so i switched to shorts for today. I need a shower. maybe brian will help me with one tonite…
just rambling here. I’ll try to remember to clean it up later.
