One week ago today at this time I was begging the nurse to remove the catheter. He told me that if I could walk to the nurses station and back he would remove it. I practically jogged there and back. Thankfully - he kept his end of the bargain.
It has been a good week. I am healing nicely. I have just a little soreness remaining, especially around my port incision. I have been walking, and today walked down the hill in front of my house so that I would have to walk back up it. It felt good.
I am WAY over the liquid phase of this new lifestyle. I've always enjoyed soup, but I'm ready to move on. On Saturday I stopped by P.F. Changs and got some hot & sour soup. I had to puree it, but it tasted so good.
I also stopped at Smoothy King and got a strawberry, low-carb, protein smoothy. It was HORRIBLE. I love Smoothy King, but I will NEVER have another one of their low-carb drinks. Yuck.
I haven't weighed myself. First of all our home scales are broken, but second I think I might have the tendency to become obsessive about the number on the scales. So, for now I am only going to weight at my MD's office. My next appointment is Friday. I know I have lost a little weight because my wedding ring isn't as tight. Also, my pants bunch up at the sides when I pull my belt tight. Feels good.
Until next time - peace out,
Marc
