6 Days Post Op

Boy, time really flies after surgery. This time last week I was preparing myself for the upcoming week after a surgery and now I'm sitting here wishing I felt better. Haha. Actually, the pain I'm having today is super minimal. In fact, I only feel it if I bend or twist the wrong way. I do have times of weird nausea though and that is really irritating. I can kind of understand why though. First of all, my body is missing one of it's organs and it is probably still trying to figure that out and secondly, I haven't been eating the greatest. Tomorrow I go to WeightWatchers to weigh in and I am not hopeful that I will lose. The past week has been a "eat what I can when I can" and all I have really craved is carbs and very strange things. So, we will see what happens tomorrow. Today I haven't had much to eat but it wasn't high on the healthy list so I am going to do my best to make the rest of the day count.

I took my ring to Kay Jewelers yesterday to let them send it off to get it fixed. Mom and dad drove me to the mall so I could take care of that. I should have it back by September 10 and it will be like new! I'm going from a size 5 to a 6.5. I honestly thought my fingers had gotten bigger than that but I guess not. I've always had tiny fingers and at least this time when I lose the weight the resizing will be covered under my extended warranty. Since the hospital cutting it off wasn't "normal wear and tear" I had to pay for them to shank and replace the existing gold. A whopping $490. To me, that isn't so bad considering the ring was basically ruined from everything they did to it. The ring is over a carat and I was thinking it would be WAY more to fix it. I was surprised by the total.

Anyway, I don't have much more to say. It was nice to get out of the apartment for a little bit and be a part of civilization again. We visited a tea store that the mall has and I bought some amazing white tea that is flavored with some citrus and berry teas. It is absolutely amazing. I even bought cute little tea cups for my strainer pot and some rock sugar to sweeten the tea. I spent a mini fortune on tea, but it is going to last me a long time since Andrew doesn't drink anything but regular tea.

In fact, I think I will have some right now.
