Healing

I am finally healing!! I went to the doctor again this past Tuesday. The hole in my incision is finally free from infection and is healing nicely. It is getting smaller and smaller which is a good thing. I am feeling better each day, am able to move around a lot better and not quite so nauseated from the infection anymore. I am still eating very little, but so far things are agreeing with me. I still struggle with getting the total amount of fluids and protein that I am suppose to get in a day, but I am working on it. I love vegetables and fruit, but they have very little if any protein in them so...I struggle to find things that are high in protein and get them in daily.

I have lost a total of 63lbs as of Tuesday, and I have been keeping my sewing machine busy taking in the pants that I have so that I don't have to keep pulling them up all the time. I am not even going to bother taking in the shirts I will just keep them till they don't stay on my shoulders anymore and then get rid of them. I was able to go to the store the other day and actually buy some new shirts in a size smaller and it really was a good feeling for me to actually be able to go into a store and buy something right off the rack and it fit!!!! Actually what I bought is a little loose but next size was to small, so this will do for awhile. May be small but its a big accomplishment to me.

I go back to the doctor on July 10th which will be 2 months after my surgery, and if my hole is closed up really good, with a good solid scab on it then I will be released to go back to work. Not that I haven't enjoyed this time off, but it will be good to get back to some sort of normal life again. But I can imagine after a few weeks back I will wish I was still off, but thats normal.
