First Week Po- Some Discomfort...

Bev712: Gotta love your sense of humor. I opted out of going to my sister's superbowl party just for this reason, and I'm ok with it. I was never a football sports fan, I always went for the food and the wives' commaradirie for the most part. I know it's a silly decision as we can't allow food to control our lives like we've had in the past however, being a week out of surgery, I'm going to sit this party out and root for the NYG on my couch with my DH and my pureed foods and Protein Drinks. This way, I will truly be able to enjoy the game without any food obsessions in my way. That's a good thing. Hope your team wins!

Hi Elizabeth, glad to see you back on here. I was thinking about you. I believe what Grinder said re: all the meds in our bodies from the anesthesia, etc. Those first few days were ups & downs for me for the most part.Tired, sore, didn't sleep well because I couldn't get comfortable. Actually, the port started to bother me Wed and I was concerned. However, after seeing the Dr for my F/U visit Thursday he assured me it was all do to swelling, etc. Now, I don't feel the pain/discomfort anymore, nor the port for that matter. I felt good on Tuesday and overdid some things and BAM! that seemed to set me back a day or so. Yesterday, I felt good all day and even had a spring in my step after food shopping. I had the energy to come home and finally get my house in order here as I had let it go for days which it was hard for me to sit on the sidelines, and look at but had no energy to do so and excepted it. Age brings wisdom. :-) I even got my Ipod out and danced to the music last night for a good half hour which felt so good to do. Hopefully, by Monday, you too will be seeing an improvement.
