Hello February!

Well, I didn't expect to be greeted quite in such a way--woke up the first day of this month feeling pretty good. Made it to my dr. appt. for my post op exam just fine and got a great report from my doc (who is one of the world's best, btw). She cautioned me to continue to take it easy, but said I could drive, take nice long, liesurely walks, go shopping, but no lifting anything over 10 lbs. still.

So, I took it pretty easy for the rest of the day--went shopping and got a few things--and picked up a treat for myself--I'd been drinking water all day and decided that I just had to have a diet dr. pepper -- so bought a 20 oz. one while I was out and made it last for a few hours. But by the time I had finished drinking it, I was feeling awful--my bladder was spazzing really hard and it was a pain I hadn't even felt before and it did scare me -- so I finally get home and call my doc and she prescribes rest and motrin and water and to eat a meal so the motrin wouldn't upset my stomach, then told me that maybe the dr. pepper wasn't such a good idea. Darn! So, looks like dr. pepper is not on my agenda anytime soon. Just as well--I guess....

Anyway--I am feeling better today except that I am TIRED. Moreso than I have been! Of course, my doc also suggested that I take a pain pill at bedtime and I did and maybe it's just the "hangover" effect from that thing. Whatever it is, I haven't accomplished much at all today except laying on the couch.

So, hello February. I'm counting on finding the rest of this month alot more enjoyable than the first two days have been...

(Wish me luck!)

One good thing--I have had time to read a bit and this book I'm reading is truly inspirational and awesome and helpful! It's by an amazing man named Bill Bartman and is entitled: Billionaire--Secrets to Success. A wonderful friend loaned it to me and so far, I have truly enjoyed reading it.
