It's almost a year later...new pics!

A little more about me. I am 5'4" and weigh 110 lbs and am 40 years old. I have struggled with many of the other issues addressed on many of the other blogs, like, Am I being vain?, That's a lot of money!, 6 weeks without running?, Augh!, and my biggest hold up was the breast cancer history in my family. After working through the majority and answering many of those questions for myself, here I am the day before surgery.

So here I am trying to get everything ready. I've done the grocery shopping, am cleaning the house and gathering what I need for tomorrow. The nurse called this morning and said I need loose pants, I don't have any, so I will be hitting the store this afternoon to find a pair of comfy sweats. The nurse also recommends a zip up or button up shirt. I don't have many of these either and had trouble finding anything that's not long sleeve. Oh, well. If I need anything, I will send my husband out shopping. :) Now lets hope I get some sleep tonight!

I had my surgery on Saturday, I wasn't to nervous, just talking to the docs and getting everything prepared. Once it was done and they were sitting me up, I thought, women do this every day? This hurts! I also know this is short lived. Once the medicine kicked in, it was more tolerable. I slept Saturday and most of Sunday. I ate some crackers, ginger ale and water those two days. Thankfully my husband is in the medical field that way I don't have to drain the tubes!

Mondays here and and I am finally hungry to eat something. I am trying prune juice instead of another pill to take, hopefully to soften my stool. I am cutting down on the percocet, pains not bad while I am lying down. I have another appointment tomorrow hoping to get a drain or two out. Will update more then. Meds are kicking in, time to sleep.
