So far, the road to recovery has been relatively smooth and speedy. I had surgery on Monday. Wednesday morning, I rode with dad to Toys R’ Us to do a little Christmas shopping. Later in the afternoon, I stopped by work to make a quick appearance.
Tuesday I had two doses of Loritab to ease the pain of the stitches a bit. Wednesday, I had two doses as a form of insurance (taking some before going out “just in case” things started hurting. Today, I haven’t had any. I spent most of today laying around the house, watching movies on television and playing on the computer. This afternoon I resumed my old role of picking Mason up from school. After that we stopped by the post office to check the PO box, and pick up a package.
The only pain I’m having at the moment is a stabbing pain in my left shoulder, typically associated with laproscopic surgery. Supposedly this will go away after a day or two. Can’t wait.
According to the scale, I’m down 25 pounds this morning, all attributable to the liquid diet I’ve been on (and will remain on for a few more weeks). The lapband isn’t “doing” anything yet and won’t be until my first fill, six weeks from now. Again, can’t wait.
Good to hear, Rob! You’re gonna be back on the dueling Shinobis in no time. :)
