January 7th, 2009 - I know, I’m such a lame blogger.
Okay, so I was under the weather for most of the last three weeks but still….. Yeah, well, you know, when you don’t write for weeks you feel like you have to write about everything that happened which is overwhelming since you are so behind on everything else as well so it just doesn’t happen. So, I’m committing to a quick summary:
Surgery went fine. I’m horrible at coming out of anesthesia however, and was still asleep several hours after the outpatient ward closed. IE, I spend the night in the hospital. So glad this was covered by insurance–what would we have done if it wasn’t? Probably have come home earlier than was safe.
I didn’t bounce back as quickly as they claimed I would. Still doing partial days at work despite them saying I’d be fine full time in one week. Yeah, right!
I’m happy I had the surgery but I hope I never have to have surgery again. I’m not good at being sick (something I’ve known for a long time, but I’d never actually had surgery before so couldn’t say it would be like being sick). It hasn’t helped that our weather has been icky–tons of ice due to melting during the day and freezing at night. So Eric and Maggie have been getting up early to bring me to work. I’m glad I haven’t had to even walk to/from the bus–it’s that bad!
I’ve gained two pounds due to eating and no exercise. Trying to get back in the saddle again, but it’s tough with all the holiday treats still around and recovering from surgery making me hungry every 2 hours. Trying to make appropriate choices and not just eat cookies at this point. Gradually getting back to exercise; doing cardio this week and increasing each of 3 machines by a minute a day, getting back to 10 on each by the end of the week. Then, will focus on getting back up to the same intensity. May start some, very low weights next week depending on how I feel. I want to lose these two pounds and then 5 more.
