Today has been a quite excellent day! First off, my total weight loss since the pre surgical diet is 46 lbs :-) Very surreal! On a second note, effective today I have been taken off of one of my blood pressure meds - permanently :-)
To say I am surprised by how quickly I am being taken off of my meds is so an understatement. I had to ask the doctor if she was completely sure that it was OK I was taken off of it so quickly. She said my BP was taken three times in a row and it was 100/60 each time with pulse of 60. She said yes, definitely Haha. It makes me super happy, truly. Maybe in the next few months I can be taken off the other one.
I still have a little bit of pain today from all of the bending I did yesterday. Ugh. I have learned my lesson that I am NOT Superman, and there is a reason my doctor has signed me off work for the next 5 weeks - TO REST. LOL
I did find out I won't be able to get my surgical drain taken out until Monday of next week. Blahhh! Pain for another few days! Mur.
We did go to Olive Garden for lunch today :-) I had a blended pasta fagioli soup and a glass of iced tea. Granted, I took most of it home, it was nice to feel normal again, eating out with my family :-]
My parents drove me to all of my appointments today. They've been awesome and I appreciate all that they have done for me :-)
I have included a picture of my lovely mother in this posting :-). Without her I would be so lost. I love you Mom!
