Well I am three weeks post-op and feeling pretty good. I'm going to get a little personal, might be too much information for the few that actually read my blog...hahaha but too bad, you've been warned! AND THIS IS MY BLOG...my online diary so to speak!

Last week I got the ok from the doctor to take on light physical activity as tolerated. I immediately went for a walk and was back in the doctors office because of excessive bleeding and pain. He put me on 'bed rest' for the weekend. That basically meant no lifting, walking, cleaning or cooking (standing for long periods of time). For the most part I took it easy. Unfortunately, the bleeding hasn't stopped yet. It isn't as bad but it's still there. Doc says everything looks okay so it can be from stitches dissolving. It will take a while for things to heal there.

Something I am excited about. Before surgery I was getting my monthly cycle at least twice a month. So about every two weeks. I would cramp all month with certain times being worse. I would get irritable bowels and migraine headaches! Today, I am happy to report that I haven't been cramping, no irritable bowels! Life feels so good right now. The headaches are still there but that is hormonal and I will deal with that! I was able to keep my right ovary so no need for hormones. I lost the left one in 2007 because of a football size cyst.

Today is my first day back at work. I started my day bright and early around 7:15. Trying to tackle the endless emails and getting updated on what I have missed over the last three weeks. By noon, I was completely and utterly exhausted. I get fatigued so easily and all I am doing is sitting and working! I hope things get better in this area, I feel so lost and out of the loop! That feeling SUCKS!!! I am naturally a control freak so this is making me really uncomfortable.

Other stuff...my appetite has been terrible. I am rarely hungry and I'm not sure if that is a self-conscience thing or diliberate?!?! For the past week I have been living off of yogurt - I am totally craving this lately, protein shakes and the occassional meal. Oh and lots of fruit, which is really weird because I am not much of a fruit eater. Way more a veggie girl. Meat makes me want to vomit! On top of that I haven't really been eating sweets, basically because I'm not in the mood for it. Anyone who knows me, knows I love sweets. Yesterday, was Brian's birthday and I made him a chocolate chip cookie cake. I took a bite and like throwing up the rest of the night. I guess that wouldn't be a bad thing to not like sweets...Right???

Well, I need to get back to work, just wanted to throw my thoughts out there.
