My Body Is Turning Against Me..but At Least You Aren't

I have no idea why I think I can keep doing this to my body. Three weeks ago I had most of my stomach taken out and then today I had two teeth pulled (one on the left and one on the right). To be honest, I think the teeth pulling was worse than the sleeve. At least I got good drugs with the sleeve surgery. Also, I had better doctors who were nice and caring. This doctor was fast and rough and I only like that every once in a while (wink) but not in a doctor's office with a man I don't know. I figure if you voluntarily go into a place where people actually hold you down while another person does soemthing to you, you probably aren't going to enjoy it very much and if you do enjoy it, it's probably not something we should be talking about on here. :) Needless to say, my mouth hurts and both sides are swollen. The cold liquids feel good but the idea of trying to eat any type of pureed food right now isn't sounding to good. So, because I am not feeling very comical today I wanted to take this time to thank you all for reading my blog.

 

When I started this, I figured no one would really read it but it would give me an out to vent and talk about going through this in a funny way. It was therapy in a way. We all know that if our family members haven't been through it, they really don't understand what we're going through. That's not to say they don't try, but unless you go through it all, you can't understand the ups and downs of our emotions and our scales. That is if you even have a scale. I'm still a little ticked my husband hid mine from me. LOL

 

So, thank you. Thank you all for taking the time and reading my crazy rants. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. Thank you to all the people who leave me comments. I really look forward to reading what you have to say and I love knowing that I can make your day a little better with my words. As long as I can make someone laugh, then I've done my job. So, I will keep writing if you keep reading. Let me know if there is anything that bothers you while going through this and maybe I can write about going through the same thing.

 

Now with all that mushy stuff out of the way, I am going to go ice my face and hope that my body doesn't start turning against me. I have promised it that I won't take anything else out of it (that I know of). Hopefully that promise will keep it working for a little bit longer. But for now, I need to give it what it wants...REST!!! Tomorrow I promise to write something a little more comical and sleeve based....if my body lets me, who knows, my fingers may go on strike because of the teeth. I'll have to wait and see. :)

My goodness Girlfriend...you need to go take a nap...take a hot bath...and generally give yourself a break!! I'm really hoping your fingers weren't too attached to your teeth because my husband and I would miss your blog! Hope you feel better soon!

LOL - Ya know, I've always hated my teeth and was thinking since I can't eat yet anyway maybe I should go get them pulled and get a denture. I think I'll wait though......

Bless your heart sweetie! You have been though quite a bit! Have you thought about SF Popsicle's? They might help with the teeth too.

I have some SF Popsicle so I may try them. I did have 1oz of lima beans and less than 1oz of applesauce. I ended up bringing some of it up. I think from the drainage from the teeth. Maybe the Popsicle will be better. LOL

Are you a sadist? Girl.... hang in there. You're still funny - and gawgeous as eva. Puffy faced or not, your soul shines through the pc screen via your posts. I love reading them.

Oh and a snocone sounds decent maybe? I love the SF blue bell bullet popsicles too :)
