First day on my own

Today's my first day on my own since surgery. It's been going pretty good. Kinda boring, and I'm trying not to push myself too far. I've done laundry, a little cleaning, and got dressed for the day. K decided he isn't getting dressed out of jammies today, so I gave up trying to convince him. Maybe he will feel like going outside later and that will make him change his mind.

Recovery is going good now. I'm able to sleep in bed comfortablly and moving around a lot better. I'm still taking benedryl a few times a day for the rash. It's fading but still itchy. My belly button has finally healed and I officially have a belly button again. When they glued the incision there, they must have used too much because the first few days after, it was kinda stuck together weird. But now the glue there is pretty much gone, and feels ok. It's still bruised pretty bad but I guess that's normal. The other 3 cuts are getting smaller but still glued.

I've been experimenting more with foods, and had a few issues so far, but it's not too bad. I don't think I'll be eating away from home for a little while though. A plus to it all, I'm not very hungry. I'm eating smaller portions than K eats and get full pretty easily. And I'm losing weight. I'm down about 5lbs. I was weighed on surgery day when I got taken back, but I was still wearing my shoes and coat, so I'm not sure the starting weight. I go back for study related stuff on Monday and they are planning on doing a check to see what I've dropped since surgery. The really cool part of it is I'm in the normal healthy range again. Not on the line anymore. It should drop more as I'm able to get out and do stuff again. We get pretty busy and active with the nicer weather.
