Feeling lots better!!

Boy, oh boy!! I woke up today feeling so much better! It's amazing what a difference each night of sleep makes. The day will usually go along like normal... pretty consistent with how I woke up feeling. (Which those that told me were right, every day gets better).

But yesterday, though I was doing alot better.. (I even went to church! ), but, I was still finding myself watching the clock towards the end of the 4-hr "Tylenol time". But I was thankful just for the improvements from the day before. :)

But today, I woke up to Brian wanting to give me a Tylenol... he's used to me waking up in bad pain because I overslept the "tylenol time"... but today I was able to say "Wow! I don't feel like I need it!".. Amazing!

I'm sure the more I move around today, I might need 1 or 2 throughout the day, just to keep myself active... but I'm very happy with this new feeling of no-pain, just mild discomfort! :)

I plan to find something comfortable (that won't hurt my stapled areas) and go outside and start walking around my cul-de-sac today before it gets too hot! Wish me luck! :)

PS... I've lost 14 lbs total now... 8 before surgery (liquid diet) and 6 after surgery. It's falling off at about 1 lb a day! I'm so happy about this! Brian says he can tell in my hands and wrists even. I am starting to be able to tell in my face, too! :) Yeahoo!! :) :)
