Here I am, post-op!

Jan 31, 2012

 As I sit here right now, it seems like the past two weeks has flown by.  Didn't feel that way at the time, but I'm feeling pretty good even though I'm still pretty weak.  

So I went to Oahu on the 19th to see Dr. Fowler.  I got there very early and went to Nicole's and spent the morning with her.  I really enjoyed that time so much.  I'm understanding more and more why we are in each others lives.  Weird that it took her moving to Honolulu for me to really see this.  At my appointment, Dr. Fowler went over the procedure with me and we talked about stuff that I can't remember now, but related to the surgery.  Then I went to Kailua for my class with Mary, Lori and Cindy.  Pretty easy, knew a lot of it already although it was good to review it.  And met two other ladies who were due for their surgeries the day before and same day as mine.  I started my liquid diet a day early because somehow I overlooked that I was supposed to have gone on the high protein, low carb diet as soon as my surgery was scheduled so figured an extra day on liquids would be good.

Madeline and I went over again on the 24th in the afternoon, got checked into our hotel then walked down to Waikiki beach.  The sun had already set but was still light out so we sat on the sand and watched the last minute surfers catching some smaller waves, sailboats drifting by and the dinner cruises starting their evenings of good food and romance.  When it was dark enough that we couldn't see much on the ocean, we walked a little ways down the main strip of Waikiki.  I kept trying to get Madeline to buy me a Coach bag but she wouldn't let me in the store!  Many of the high end brands have stores there and it was a little intimidating because I'll never buy anything from one of them.  Don't know why that was intimidating, but probably  because I'm insecure.  

The next morning
