The last few days have been a bit of a blur.
I’m much more wiped out that I think I really expected to be.
Pain level has been fine… haven’t touched the meds they sent home with me. I think I don’t want to risk the nausea I kept getting from the drugs in the hospital.
Sunday I managed a short walk down to the end of the block and back… maybe 100 yards. Other than that it was sitting up, watching some TV, sipping water… bit of jello… laying down for awhile… sleeping for a bit… rinse and repeat.
Only thing I’ve been downing is water and jello. Broth just is not holding any appeal right now. I tried to jazz up some water yesterday with cucumber slices… two sips had me kinda gagging.
I’m not feeling hungry…. but I think I’m feeling my original stomach and how empty is…? does that make sense? Kinda how amputees still “feel” their lost appendage. Ok, not a true comparison cause my stomach is still there, just not in the capacity it was.
Speaking of yesterday… walked about twice as far as I did Sunday in the morning. Then was gonna shoot for the same that afternoon, and ended up going alllll the way around the block. I dunno, I think it’s like 1/3 of a mile. Took a bit over half an hour. It felt good, but it really wiped me out. I slept most of the evening after that.
With all the sitting and laying on my back in bed, my butt hurts (just had to share that).
I have started doing a few things for work, trying to keep from going stir crazy, answering a few emails, updates on our website. But it’s been hit and miss cause I seem to still be in a bit of a fog a lot of the time.
Gonna go take a nice hot shower I think, then maybe head out for a walk… well, after getting dressed.

I could have told anyone cucumber slices in water could make ya gag..
I’ve done the same with lemon before, and it was naaaaasty.
There’s packets you can get to put in water to flavor it up, and that’s really good. Are you allowed to do that? If you are, and wanna spice up your water, I recommend it. There’s fruity flavors and tea flavors and all kinds of stuff. Not carbonated, either.
Yea, have lots of those… but some studies suggest that the artificial sweeteners actually cause cravings.. so I’m trying to minimize that.
I like lemon, and also found this True Lemon, crytalized lemon that is pretty good.
The Propel Fitness Water packets are some I’m using right now for the vitamins… berry is my current flavor of choice I think.
