I'm FREE!!!

I had to go today to get my opening into my stomach stretched the rest of the way. That went really well. They used real anesthesia so I didn't know anything. Of course that's made me tired all day, but that is ok. After I woke up and left there, I had an appointment to get my drain outta my stomach. I was beyond ready for that thing to get out. It was hurting all the time, it was making me sick, and it made it hell to move at all. So I got to the doctors office and after a nurse practitioner, a nurse, a doctor, and 2 phone calls to other doctors.... they finally figured out how to get the thing out. My first one didn't hurt at all coming out. This thing did. It hurt. It took my breath away. And it made me sick instantly. But.... its gone now. For the first time since surgery I am free from all tubes and wires. I feel soo much better already. I can move easier. I haven't been sick all day. I am hoping I'll start feeling like eating more now, because I've not been getting in nearly enough food. Yes I'm worrying about eating more.... what a change. Just another way I am seeing everything in my life change. Now I get to work on getting to the gym. Need to get some inches off to go with the pounds I'm losing. Building up some strength wouldn't hurt any either. And in any free time I have.... I get to do homework.... I am 14 assignments behind right now.
