Day 12 after the Surgery
June 02, 2009
Yesterday was hard. Woke up feeling a bit off, and stayed that way most of the day. Now I think I was constipated but I'm so rarely in that state didn't realize what was wrong.
We had our baby shower for the Associate Principal for Instruction (we used to call them the Dean). She had her baby before the originally scheduled shower -- and they had lots of food. I could have eaten queso or dip but nothing they brought for the dip so there didn't see much point. They also had little sandwiches and cake, but couldn't eat any of that.
Didn't get to leave until at 4:00 pm -- that's for the other blog, later on today.
People have asked me how I feel -- physically I'm better than I was before the surgery -- I have ankles again. Mentally, I just don't know yet -- I'm still in the initial healing stages and still on liquid diet. I tell people ask me in six months how I feel about the surgery. Right now it's all too new.
Dog agility went MUCH better last night. I actually ran and there was a definite improvement in both dogs. I need to lose at least another 25 pounds before it gets good enough to trial.
Still at 11 pounds since surgery but TDD was 37 yesterday.
I also need to get better at dosing insulin and on taking Symlin.
