Things to do

Jan 19, 2011

I'm having my first breakfast at home: 1/4 cup Cream of Wheat with a splash of skim milk and a dash of Splenda. It's pretty tasty, and it seems to be going down OK.

Yesterday was very rough. My back went into a spasm, and I still had horrible bloating with no relief despite prune juice and Milk of Mag. I finally got so nauseated from it that I started gagging, and that knocked everything loose at the other end. :)  Whew! I had breakfast in the hospital yesterday, but other than that, all I had was 1/2 cup of skim milk with a little protein powder mixed in. I'm going to need to get more protein in today.

I'm going to lighten up on the Lortab doses today and see if I can be completely off of it by the weekend. I didn't expect to hurt this much once I got home. But I've got great helpers! My mother-in-law picked up my meds and groceries yesterday, and she got up several times during the night to check on me. My oldest son is home sick from school with stomach flu, but he's been checking on me as well. That flu is making the rounds, but as sick as I've been feeling, I could probably have it and not even know it. But here's to not having it anyway!

To do:
Schedule 2 week followup visit
Find out date and time of followup class
Take Prilosec (I know I'm going to have trouble remembering this one)
Start food diary
