Every day seems that I turn another corner for the best. I'm still itching like crazy, however, this a.m. I was able to, with the aid of several pillows.. lay on my side! HOORAH! it still slighly pulls on my port site which isn't v. comfy but it's a nice few minute change from laying on my back. It doesn't take much to wear me out. I go back to work tomorrow and kind of dread it, I have a desk job though so the worst part will be going from truck to desk. after that I should be fine. I'm eating a soft scrambled egg right now that DH made for me. I think finally today, some of my swelling has gone down. T

Nice, mellow and respectful of others. You guys are great. Tracy -

Day four post op. Allive and kicking... and ITCHING. Drank my watery oatmeal with protein powder mixed in. Was quite delicious actually. Hubby will make me a soft scrambled egg for lunch and a 1/4 cup of 'wet' lean ground beef for supper to be chased with a v-8 juice. Did I mention I was ITCHING?

Hey Susan, There are bad apples in EVERY single bunch, no matter where you look. There are also Good apples in every single bunch so don't go with examples set by others but follow your heart and inner voice. You don't have to have a label to slap on it. Be a the best person you can be because it's the right thing to do for you. It took me years of searching and reading to come to the point where I was like.. you know what? I'm not any one thing in particular. One day I might actually believe in an actual male and female god or many and one day I might not. I do believe that we are all made up of energy and energy continues on so, even after our earthy body dies we continue on. Do I believe in a 'heaven or hell' no, I don't but I don't begrudge others that do. Do I believe that the salvation of the world hinges on the belief of the existance of one man that walked on earth and that those who do not put their belief in 'the sone of god' will burn in hell, nope.. I don't, but that doesn't make it a bad choice for those who do. Some days, reincarnation makes perfect sense to me and others I'm like.. well, probably not. In essence, I don't think it matters. Let's treat others and our earth well and get along with each other despite religious or non religious beliefs. You know.. I have totally gotten distracted and kind of forgot why I started this paragraph.. sorry. Bascially... don't give up on Christianity soley based on.. well, your bad experience with hypicritical 'fire insurance' Christians. To truly be Christian... CHRIST LIKE.. can be a good thing. Jesus was a wonderful person from all accounts we can find and a good example to follow. As I've mentioned before. READ READ READ and you will begin to find your way.. whatever that may be. Sorry for rambling, Tracy -

I just ate a small prune yogurt (sounds gross but is actually quite DEEELISH) and a small sf pudding. I went to Target and bought these cute little plastic toddler spoons and forks plus some classic pooh plates and bowls and though I haven't been able to use the bowls and plates yet, the small spoons have been great. I feel at this point I am actualy taking a turn for the better. Basically I'm just sore, gasey, itchy and restless. Great combo huh? -

Good a.m. Feeling slightly better today. This a.m. instead of flailing wildly for 10 minutes trying to get out of bed it only took me 9 minutes of flailing wildly. I'm starting to suspect some of my innards were stolen during surgery and sold on the black market. My furkids seem to think that the big a$$ pillow I keep on my tummy is JUST for their entertainment and like to take a running leap from the ground and land... RIGHT SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE... which of course results in my jerking up and screaming bloody murder, spazzing the cats out which causes them to AGAIN run across said pillow that I'm using for 'protection'. hmmmm I may have just figured out the whole pack of wild drunk monkey feeling from yesterday..... My tummy is still swollen larger than a baboons a$$ in heat but not as pretty. I know it's only friday, but I'm like.. how on EARTH am I going to drive my truck to work on Monday. I may end up bartering with DHubby to take me. I can't wait to get to work to show off my new Cave man posture and walk. I also have this weird numb but itchy feeling on the surface of my tummy. Itching is a good sign I reckon but it's very surreal to be running my finger over the surface of my tummy and not really be able to feel it. I am VERY happy to report that my auntie flow has packed her bags and left the building. I asked Dr. Morton if he could just to ahead and remove my uterus while he was in there and he just looked at me like I was a goof ball. Oh well.. never no unless you ask. OK.. having major gas pain.. must go kick something. later T
