Re: [MGB-PostOp] 's update

June 4, 2000

Hi, Dr. R told me I was depressed. I think it was more coming home to a

dirty house with chores waiting. I like the idea of getting a maid for

a day and just do a thorough cleaning. I just may do that! My problem

is that I haven't been sleeping. I don't know if its my body was used to

being on night shift and it's having to struggle to change or the must

needed nap in the middle of the day. Today however, no nap so I am

hoping I'll sleep tonight.

It's really strange. We went to one of our local breakfast restaurants

today and I was looking at everyone's food and ... it just looked like

stuff on their plates. NOrmally my saliva glands would be working over

time. Maybe this will change in time, but it was kind of neat. I feel

energy on the verge of coming forth. It's there just waiting. Hard to

explain.

Teehee.. I find myself talking to my tummy. " Tummy, do you like this?

Do you want me to stop? Are you full? " Am I nuts or what??

And water has never tasted so goood. Gatorade, juices, anything else

just does NOT quench my thirst. And this sipping stuff YACK!!! It is

definitely building patience in me especially when it comes to nice

fresh cold water!!

OK, I'll shut up.

a

Memorial Day blessing!
