I HAD MY SURGERY ON TUESDAY, JULY 15, 2003.
Observations and revelations:
- I am being able to sit in chairs with arms, and not be
iserably uncomfortable. I first noticed this at a support group
meeting. Hurray!
- Jeans that were uncomfortably tight before Isaac was
conceived are now quite comfortable. UPDATE: I have gone from Women's
size 32 to Missy size 12!
- I can get off the floor withough a forklift. I'm not
exactly graceful about it, but I can do it!
- My knees haven't been hurting.
- My hunger is quite low. I frequently have to remind myself
it's time to eat something. The downside is that I keep waiting for my
body to let me know I need to drink water, and it doesn't do so.
- A meal from a restaurant is good for at least two meals, if
not three.
- It's getting easier to walk longer distances.
I will be working on updating the pages when/as I have energy,
time, and something to add. Although the surgery is not comfortable
(drugs can be our friends!), I am very glad I did it! I feel like I
have been given a new chance at life. I do have to publicly acknowledge
that I am not at all sure I could do it without the help and support of
David, who has been wonderful throughout the whole process. He has
never failed to be there for me and has been completely supportive the
whole time.
