it went well!

So I’m done with surgery and I’ve had like eight naps. I am fixing for another. Pain is manageable, and I was able, after a period of being rather shaky on my feet, able to walk the hall. I still felt a little weird so it will be good to have the nurse walk with me. I’ve had a few snags, but the medical team doesn’t seem that worried so I suppose I shouldn’t be too. So far it’s been all ice chips, which is good because I have nausea that comes and goes. I don’t even want food. 

So this is it. I changed my life. Nothing will be the same from here on out. I have to believe that I can sustain a new lifestyle. If you think you can’t, then you can’t. And one of my favorite quotes: you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. And my other favorite: good enough is good enough. 

So that’s what passes for wisdom from me tonight. Sleep well. I’m sure I won’t, with them checking on me constantly lol. 

Yeah.

So I’m at this thing for work. I came at 1pm to set up and now it’s 4:30 pm and it doesn’t start till 6 pm. So I have a lot of time to myself. Time to think. Mostly about how I had my shake for breakfast, then left in an effort to get better parking stupid early and without snacks, my lunch shake and my dinner salad. 

And to add to the fun, my booth is right near the food trucks. Every time the wind blows I smell sausage and steak and pizza and steak and who knows what else. After a week and two days on this pre-op diet, I could eat them all. My kingdom for a pizza, for real, man. 

I asked my husband to bring me fruit and a shake but it will be a while before he gets here. I probably won’t get my dinner salad until I get home from the event tonight. I wouldn’t say I’m miserable. Just frustrated. I will try to keep my mind off of it, but I’m not sure how successful I am going to be. So. Yay for me.
