Shrinking Shadow

I'm new at all of this so I hope you get my response! Well... I was in a lot of pain afterwards. On my left side. The doctor told me it was because they cut through the muscle right there. Ugh! The first time getting up and walking was a nightmare. But the surgery itself wasn't bad. In fact it was over in 35 minutes (well my surgeon's part). When she went in to see my mother, my mom thought something went wrong because like I said...it was only like 40 minutes in.

I was pretty sleepy for a couple of days and it was hard to sit up or walk. I'm back at work now. My body looks like Frankenstein. But I'm recovering. 11 pounds down since last week. Not bad. But I feel like I'm starving. I do cry a lot. I'm a baby. I'm not sure if I can live with this forever but I owe it to myself (and to the insurance company) to live with this for a while!
