Laparoscopy Day Three: In Limbo
23rd May, 2008constipated, uncomfortable, anzy (want to run again, I’ve gained 6 pounds in 3 days), bloated, still bleeding (I don’t know if it’s my scheduled period or still the bleeding from surgery. I was bleeding quite a bit, after surgery, in the hospital and afterward.), not hungry (but need to eat with my pain killer, so I am eating every 6 hours or so. I’ve been craving sweets-which is probably due to PMS-that’s why I want PGX.), I don’t feel like I was hit by a bus really anymore. Just have that knife-still-stuck-in-me-feeling and the bloating as well as the constipation that are nuisances now.
The Surgeon’s not returning our calls to schedule an post-op-follow-up appointment with him. This is frustrating for both Jeff and I as we would like to know what’s going on. I have an environmental allergy test on Tuesday, the same day I’m to meet with the Surgeon supposedly-don’t have that appointment yet and have not been called back either, so who knows right? I don’t even know if I got dissolving stitches or not.
I stayed in bed all day yesterday except for 4 hours, when I ate and took that video. Since I was so tired of being in bed, I spent all of last night photoshopping stuff for my blog, that was a lot of fun! But I ended up going to bed at: 5:30am and Rufio gladly woke me up at: 10:30am.
So now I’m up.
Jeff and I were invited out for dinner tonight, don’t know if I’m excited about that or not. WHY? I’m worried about what to eat. is that crazy? I know what I WANT to eat, but whether it will help this constipation and weight gain is another worry. I doubt it will. It will however help this enemia I think I have now due to all the bleeding. (I want to get bbq ribs. I’ve been craving them! Jeff always gets them there, and I always use my fork to steal pieces of the meat that fall off the bone he doesn’t even notice, NOT.) haha
well the good news is:
I can sit up now.
I can lie on my side now.
I can lift my arms up now.
I can squat now this helped with the constipation.
Ok I’m going to go figure out what else I can do in a-rested-state, so pretty much sitting or lying down.
How many of you watched the video, anyway???
Hope you feel better soon! Glad it’s at least over finally! You made it!
No, I haven’t watched the video…I’m too scared judging by the picture!
hope you are feeling better soon Demara.
Peace

Love your new header – the colors are so refreshing. And glad to hear that you’re gradually feeling better after your surgury. Take care.
Sorry, didn’t watch the video.
I am glad you’re doing better. Remember to get your rest and ease back into the exercise. Don’t over do your self too soon.
