Well, here I am six days post-op. Everything went well, I'm back on my feet and I'm eating small amounts. Even went to the mall today! (Preparing for getting back to work in a couple more days).
I was quite emotional 2 days post-op when I came home from the hospital, and continued to feel depressed for a couple days. I guess this is normal? I kept wondering what in the world I was thinking when I decided to have the surgery, and that my life would never be normal again.
Things are looking up now, although I'm still having weird and terrible nightmares. I think I've lost a few pounds - maybe even 10 - but there's no difference to see yet.
