Post Surgery Day 3

Three days post surgery and I am feeling better tonight. I can't move around much yet. If you've ever had broken ribs that would be a good way to describe the feeling. I can't take in deep breaths, get very comfortable in bed and when I walk around the house, I am holding onto my right side. If anyone took a photo of my right now, I think it would resemble Quasimodo aka the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Reality, what a concept. Needless to say, I haven't been able to eat or drink much at all. Actually, I haven't even been able to take my normal medications which isn't good but, there are just too many! Before I left the hospital, I weighed myself and was a little ticked off to see that I had gained 3 pounds while I was there. How was that possible? Well, I was being pumped full of fluids through my IV and you also get swelling anytime you have someone working inside of you. Since I have left the hospital, I have lost 7 pounds. So, back to my original numbers from July 20th, I've lost 25 pounds. It's a good start. Hopefully by Monday I'll be able to leave the house again and be back on track. By the way, what the heck happened to Thursday???
