The past few days I’ve been feeling noticeably better. I’m sleeping better, though with normally at least one interruption. My scars are feeling better. I still have the one numb spot, but everything else seems to be progressing. I am really looking forward to being able to get back to working out. I can’t believe […]
Nothing
Nothing to report today, so far. Nothing back from my coordinator regarding my questions from two days ago. Nothing really new on my recovery, things are steady and slowly progressing. I went into the office yesterday afternoon for a retirement reception for a couple of higher ups in our organization. Spent about an hour and […]
Weight and other stuff
One thing I forgot to mention during yesterday’s update was that my weight has at least stabilized. I’m not losing and I’m not gaining. I’m pretty much staying right around 145 pounds. As for my issues that I discussed with coordinator yesterday, I haven’t heard back yet. I’m hoping I do today.
Three weeks
Today marks three weeks post surgery. I just spoke to my coordinator and covered the two issues I currently have. The first being the roughly one inch area below and to the left of my belly button that is still numb. And the second is a small (less than pea sized) knot in my arm […]
Pictures
I realized that I have neglected to add pictures here that I have been sharing with my friends on Facebook. So here they are.
Updates
It’s been a few days since my last update, so I thought I should check in again. I had a good weekend. I actually got out Saturday night to hang with some friends. This was my frist time out since the surgery and it felt good, though a bit draining. Overall the weekend was good […]
Another pretty good day
Following another decent night’s sleep (thanks again, Benadryl!), I had a pretty good day. My stitches aren’t itching that much today. However they do feel odd. They feel almost like I’m cramping along them.
Feeling pretty good
Given the circumstances, I’m feeling pretty good today. I’m wondering if it was the good night’s sleep that really helped. And, in other news, Zyrtec doesn’t really help with the itching. 🙁
The power of Benadryl
Since having the Steri-Strips removed from my incisions, they’ve been very itchy. A quick bit of googling led to suggestions of using antihistamines to control the itching. Also, considering that I’ve had trouble sleeping through the night, what a better idea than Benadryl? Ever since I’ve been home from the hospital, I’ve been waking up […]
Scars
As promised, a pic of the freshly uncovered scars.
