post surgery Mood
Saturday, August 23, 2008
Well it has been a long time.  I have been getting along good post surgery except I am not getting all my fluids and protein in.  I have been keeping most things down except for reheated food.  Getting low on money so I am going back to work this week starting wednesday.  My brother is coming to visit tomorrow so I hope he'll pick up some groceries for me.  so far I have lost 35 pounds!!!  Except for the first two weeks I have been losing slow and steady which I can accept.  I still haven't been able to fit into smaller pants yet.  I saw my son on Monday and we went to dinner at Applebees.  He is excited about going away to school and I am excited for him too.  I hope to see him before he leaves.  His move in day is August 31st in the am.  I hope and pray he makes it through the 4 years.  Unlike his sister who had to leave because of financial problems after 2 years.  I worry about that happening to him too.  I am no longer on insulin which means not having to take up to 8 shots a day and I am off the oral diabetes meds too.  I still have to take my phsy meds which fill up my pouch when I take them morning and night.  I have been tired much earlier at night I use to stay up till 1 or 2am but now I'm lucky if I make it to 10pm.  I will be sad to see the olympics over with I have enjoyed watching them.  I missed the opening ceremonies so I hope I see the closing ones.  I didn't get out of my nightgown all day today and it was beautiful weather today.  I spent the day reading cooking and watching tv.  I feel somewhat down tonight I think the financial situation might be part of it.  Then again I am a depressed person so that is just what may be going on.

    Wow, its great to hear from you again! I had wondered how things went with the surgery. I am sorry you are stressed about money right now. I am too. Business has been slow here. I;m glad you will be having a visit with your son. Its always nice to be with family. Well, its great to hear about the weight loss, and from you in general!! Big hugs!
