I'm so very optimistic about the new year. Although I do feel somewhat selfish. Everything lately has seemed to be me me me. That will change though as I'm able to do more.   On being able to "do more". I'm dissappointed that I'm still having pain in the one area just below my left breast. If I move or stretch the wrong way, it seems like someone has stabbed me with a hot knife. If it were not for that area, I would be close to 100% I feel certain. Now, I've found a "hard" area under the

Well, it's been an exciting week!

Less than 24 hours after surgery

Didn't get to leave the hospital till after 8 pm due to the fact that I couln't pee. Well, after 3 iv's and 5 or more cups of water/chipped ice and a grape juice I was finally able to go...didn't completely empty though. Well that happened during the night. Was up 6 times during the night to go. My precious baby girl (19 almost 20) took care of me and slept on the other couch across from me. Every time I got up, she was up checking on me and helping me up. Even with the phenergan sup. lol.

4th day of my POD (pre-op diet). Last night was rough. Had my pre-testing yesterday and had annual checkup with pcp. Recovering from resp. infection and she told me if I'm not significantly better by Monday, I need to call my surgeon and reschedule :cry . Tuff. Don't know if I was stressing or hungry but, I ate a big spoon of peanut butter and 2 slices of cheese, Not on the approved list of things I can eat right now from my surgeon of course. Today will be better. Getting my water allotment for
