Wednesday - Day 3

Wednesday - Day 3

 

I'm still kicking!

 

Sadly my voice is not too loud yet, but it is much better than yesterday, so the phone is still not an option.

 

Yesterday I still felt like I got hit by a truck, today I am just sore. I can get up and down off the couch much easier today. Yesterday I had to get a pair of crutches out of the garage to help myself up with. Today, not needed. I just go slow.

 

I was able to drink 96 ounces of fluids yesterday- Propel, diluted cranberry and apple juice, one isopure and one profect. Today I am just at 36 ounces at 4 PM, it is taking longer to drink.

 

Today's major issues would be ITCHING and CRAMPING.

Itching- the belly hair is growing back already.

Cramping- I pulled my back getting up and now have a kink. The front of my left leg is numb. This used to happen when I fell asleep and when I rolled to my side it would wake up. Perhaps in a day or two I can sleep on my side.

 

In other news, Late Monday a hospital VP visited the drugged JC in his room to apologize for the $16,500 rant. Another hospital person called today. I just hope she does not do it again to someone one else.  Also since she was lecturing me in public, the person behind me heard that I was getting a LapBand- that is a violation of federal law. Patient confidentiality

 

All in all, I don't feel hungry, but do wander around the house, and where I used to find food and eat it, I now want to. But no actual FEELING of hunger. It has rained a lot here the last few days, so the one outside walk I tried, I went 50 feet and got poured on. Perhaps tomorrow. I am wearing a path in my carpet. Also tonight, I will try the basement steps.

 

I do feel 10 times better today. If the support group was tonight, I would not go, but I hope to go tomorrow night.
