Well, what a difference a few hours makes LOL. The nurse came in today and removed all of my staples, as well as one of the drains I had in. I still have another drain (which hurts like a bitch) but the pain is 1/10th of what it was this morning. So, this morning when I was woken up at 3:00 AM by the nurse I was like OMFG in so much pain! I think I was just more annoyed than anything else, but in any event I went back to bed, got up again around 7AM and said to myself, "dude, get out of bed and walk around. It's the only way you are going to feel any better =P". So, I did just that. I walked up and down the hall for about 30 minutes, going a little further each time. By the end of the time I was walking I didn't even hurt anymore. I felt so much more confident in my strides I figured, "hmm - I am going to take a shower by myself". Did I do it? You bet your ass I did! You know how nice it was to take a shower, on my own, and still not have a ton of pain? It was quite awesome actually hehe.
I have seen all of the doctors and nurses and they have all been amazing. I decided to donate all of my beautiful flowers I have received from family and friends over the last few days to the patients on this floor that don't have any flowers. If they are here, they are either in pain or in the same boat I am in trying to make a change in their life. With that said, they deserve love as much as anyone else does. I really hope it brightens up their day :).
So, I start the full liquid diet today when I get home. I am confident I will rock this out. In fact, I have never been so confident in anything in my life. I know I will lose weight, I know I will get where I want to get, and I have my amazing friends, family, and colleagues to thank for the incredible amount of support to get me there.
Love you all!
