Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hi All, Just letting you all know that I did survive my first day back at work after surgery. I think everyone at the office was more shocked at my weight loss than my red nose, puffy cheeks, and swollen lip. The day started out well with enjoying all the attention I was getting being my first day back. But around 10:00am I started to feel tore up from the floor up and was getting so tired and really thought I was going to have to take the remainder of the day off. But I somehow made it to 12:00 noon and took an hour nap on the couch. My coworker was even so kind to cover me up with a blanket during my nap. I felt better in the afternoon, probably because it was getting closer to the time to go home..(haha) I get off at 3:30pm. I found the biggest problem today was eating. I did manage a small bowl of grits this morning and then around 11:00am I started getting hungry and didn't have time to fix anything, so I just grabbed a jar of baby food and chowed down on my entree...(haha) My coworkers of course had a laugh on that one. I even made them laugh harder when I pulled out my Italy imported colored baby spoon to eat my entree with. When 12:00 rolled around I really didn't feel like eating because after all I just had my big entree of baby food an hour ago... (haha) So I just took an hour nap. The main problem I noticed today was that I surely didn't get enough calories down today like I had been doing at home. I did notice an added bonus from the surgery today that I never heard anyone mention yet. My laugh lines are now gone! Also I had a few small wrinkles around my eyes and they have also disappeared. Now it could be the swelling making it appear they have disappeared, but for now I am going to enjoy this non wrinkled, red nosed, swollen face.. (haha) So as an added bonus I also had cosmetic surgery..(haha) Okay, wishful thinking! --Caboose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
