So today was fun but still painful... As I write this, I am down to ONE pain pill every four hours and down already 8-10 lbs (it flucuates due to the water intake). I spent most of the day on the couch except when my best friend Julie came over and when my DSW order came in (yes, THAT DSW) order. I did walk around the house and use the restroom but I am trying to get as much rest as possible since I go back to work on Monday. I am pretty pleased with my progress.
I am remembering to take meds and vitamins on time, stay hydrated and I really have no appetite. I attempted to eat some potato soup, yogurt, and jello today. Jean P, from church brought Bill (and Julie LOL) enchiladas, homemade bread with jam, a jello salad, and even regular plain jello for me. They ate very well this evening! We spent the day watching movies and trying to recover. Bill went to the store for me to get cranberry juice and other items on my, "food list". I am totally terrified of eating too much and doing something to my staples and throwing up, that I am really staying with foods that turn into liquids easily. So far I am doing fine, but I have had too much to drink and felt sick afterwards. I also had to have Bill and Julie eat away from me because the food smell was nauseating to me (NO offense to Jean's cooking AT ALL).
I also FaceTimed with Chloe (Apple Skype-like feature) and am now settling down with a movie for the night. Big changes but I am rolling right along with the punches. I have a great support system in my friends, family, and many of you who read this blog. THANK YOU! I could not do this alone and without the support of family and friends. Now to watch a movie and head to bed, until my Monkey returns home tomorrow! :)
