Today I finally decided to take a real shower. I was sponge bathing which was ok but... I washed my hair and I feel alot better. I am still taking pain meds. to sleep more to rest to heal. I think in the next couple days I will get a little less sleep and try to do somewhat a little more. Not wanting to rush myself. It is just this really strange feeling I get like when I get up I want to burp and there is pressure and It hurts a tiny bit. Not sure if it's gas or cause I was smoker. I still haven't smoked since September 26,2007. I really hate the smell right now. It doesn't take alot to upset my stmach being on jello, protien shakes, broth , all liquids. I look forward to my first meal. I know I will have to take it slow cause I really could cause my body shock being I haven't alot to eat. I have to say I am taking this well. Well it's 5 days today since my surgery. I think the scale said 2 lbs. lighter, not sure. That doesn't really interest me alot right now. Me getting better is my concern, so I will pay attention later to the other stuff. Also here at my home has been raining almost since my surgery which is good I guess. My hubby says he might take e for a ride later. It's the little things lately that matter.:rain:
