5 Days Post-op

Well day 5 is almost over. Rode in the car today for the first time since surgery. I am still pretty tender in the area where I believe my port is. Hopefully this is normal. Some bumps and turns were a little painful. Walked around the mall some. Now Im home resting after having my dinner. 1/2 cup of blended chicken soup and 2 tsp of creamed potatoes. So full dont even want to think about food. My follow up appointment isnt until the 27th and I have scales here at home but not sure if I trust them or not. Dont want to get my hopes up! All in all I feel better, my knees arent aching. Just wish the pain in my left side would disappear! Its more annoying than anything. and I think from trying to baby that side it has made my back hurt on the right side. I think thats it anyway. Got two 8 ounce protein shakes down today. Felt good about that. Hopefully Im on the right track. Time will tell!
