Liquids, boredom and the "Big D"

Aug 20, 2011

The days are passing pretty slowly since my surgery.

My mom, who was here with me the first 4 days, has journeyed home and I'm stuck in the house alone and stuck to the TV and walking a path between the recliner to the kitchen and the recliner to the bathroom. I've watered my flowers on my porch, petted my cats, napped and fretted.

I'd love to get up and finish unpacking, take out the trash or mop my floors but as a newbie, we can't lift a thing so... I wait for my mom to come for another visit.

I'm so sick of the full liquid thing, however, I'm pretty sure that I'm healing. I can feel myself getting stronger every day.

The biggest problem is the liquids - in, liquids - out issue. I'm in the bathroom every hour or so and it's pure colored water. Yummy! I sincerely hope the pureed foods starting on Monday will help plug that little problem up so I can leave the house for longer than 15 minutes.

On a good note, even though I'm trying to stay far away from my scale, I hopped on this morning to have a peek. I'm at 294 right now. I understand that most of my loss is probably water, however, it made me smile a bit.
