BK2526's Journal, 23 July 2020

It’s been awhile. Food choices have been fairly consistent and let’s just say... salty. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Some nerve damage happened during surgery and the meds they have me on leaves me unable to stomach a good deal of things but I do eat some chips and rice cakes. No excuse. It’s just what it is. No working out for another week aside from walking. Which I do! They also bandaged me so tightly that in the OR recovery they had to remove bandages and cut gauze to relieve pressure. The area was actually blue in color and pretty cold according to the doctor. Long term damage is not able to be determined, yet. On Gabapentin, Oxy (but only once a night if the pain is too unbearable. Bright side.. only have taken 1 so far), and Ibuprofen. Compression garment comes in tomorrow so I’ll have more flexibility.
Now all that seems bad BUT I can recover, I can drink more water, I can have a good attitude, I can eat right, and I CAN maintain. Still at 149. So I’m probably at a loss once this salty stuff decreases. I have the tools to get back to the norm. We have it in each of us to move through the muck.
Life sometimes get tough but remember..
You’re tougher! If you weren’t, you wouldn’t be here!
I miss those of you that I regularly converse with. I’ll catch up and get back into the swing of things.
To those I consider friends 😘. Even if we haven’t met in person there are some of you that are truly lovely people. Funny and kind.
Prayers for all of you.😊
