Celebrate the small goals
Apr 17, 2011
So today was a bit rough but ending well. I actually got all of my vitamins down for the first time since surgery. Felt kinda nauseous the rest of the day but managed to get over 50oz of liquids and almost 10g protein!! I'm very proud of myself on that and only took pain meds once today. Need to call my surgeon tomorrow though because I have some weird mouth stuff going on that I'm afraid it might be candida and would like to cut my body some slack - she's been thru alot!!! SO better to get some meds sooner than later.I'm proud that I haven't thrown up and haven't had to be readmitted to get IV fluids.... My standards might be a bit low but rather be realistic than frustrated. I see people talk about their recovery and the experiences are so all over the place. I wouldn't want to compare my recovery to anyone elses but one universal seems to be one's mentality going into this and facing adversity in a positive way. So if I lower the bar, I don't disappoint myself & I can celebrate small victories.
