We have had some pretty good days & one sorta OK day.
Anyone who has been following our journey knows the early post op days were not great gastrointestinal wise. We have progressed to the 'all Kathy wants to eat is protein, esp. beef phase'. And anyone that knows Kathy & I well knows we do not eat much fat or beef so......it is of no surprise that Kathy's GI system has decided to rebel slightly (just slightly). We now have a case of the burps or rather belches. Really, my wife right now could hold her own against any beer drinking Bubba on super bowl Sunday! We're sure it's only temporary, but it sure has provided some good laughs in this house.
Tuesday was a very good day, we had a good visit to the ear surgeon, went out to breakfast (first outside meal & first non doctor public outing), surprised Mom @ her office, walked out side a bit, had a good nap & dinner and slept most of the night. Kathy still complains she walks funny but hey, she's walking!
Wednesday Kathy woke with the blues. She just could not get comfortable and like many others post op of major surgery was very frustrated with all the discomfort, pain and the length of time it takes to heal. Not unexpected. So when she called me at work crying I came home right a way with my clown face on (same one I was born with). It took a good lunch, a walk outside & a nap but she was smiling by the end of the day, still very, very tired but smiling.
We are so much further along than two weeks ago, still on average behind schedule but NOT going backwards. She's still worried about 'The Thursday Curse' even though last Thursday was fine.
So, we are hoping for a full night of sleep and a great tomorrow.
