Doing okay

Oct 14, 2009

Been home for 3 days now, and beginning to feel better.  Still sore on my left side.  Am taking 1/4 dose of pain meds about every 5-6 hours.  Trying to wean myself off of them.  Hate they way they make me feel.  Going to meet with the dietician today.  I know I am not getting in enough liquids. Protein shakes make me nauseated, and I am sipping water a lot, but it makes me belch!!  Still a bit gassy.  I guess that's from the sugery.  As long as I keep moving around, I feel pretty good.  Sitting or laying down is hard, and even harder when I get up because I get stiff.  I have eaten a few bites of hummus and refried beans.  Tasted good, but I am terrified of overeating, so I've only eaten just a few bites of each.  Who'da thunk it?  Me?  Afraid to eat?  HA!!
