Recovery

Well, apparently that little thing called a gallbladder can really make you feel like poo. Who knew that little organ could do so much? It has been 3 days since surgery and I am slowly getting around. This was not as easy of a surgery that I thought it would be. I can tell you I sleep like a baby now, 12 hrs last night. I am ready to be 100% and get back into my routine. I am super bloated and can only eat soft things like egg whites. I am ready for some real food. I did not tell a lot of people about this surgery including my dad. Yes, I did not want him to worry so I just didn't tell him. I know that is bad but I just did not want all the fuss. My mom is not all fussy like that. Anyway, I am hoping that my life will be back to normal soon. The leg pain is gone. It was the worst bone pain I have ever felt in my life. It was kind of like growing pains but 100 x worse. My doctor said that was a first for her. She had never heard of leg pain with gallbladder disease. It even hurt down into my feet. I pretty much hurt all over. So I guess I can go down in history as having leg pain. I knew if I woke up and the leg pain was still there that there was something terribly wrong. I was so relieved for it to be gone!

My kitchen has been a wreck! They delivered the island and it is beautiful! The granite top is suppose to be here hopefully by the end of the week. I hope so since we are doing our annual cookie baking this weekend. The island is 4 x 8 and it even has a plate rack where you can slide all your dinner plates in and huge deep drawers and tons of cabinet space. Just the top alone is over 6oo lbs! I still have my old smaller island in the corner of the kitchen. I cannot lift anything so I have to wait until my brother can pick it up this weekend. I had to order new bar stools because the new island is taller. I ordered them off overstock.com and got a super deal. I love that place. I will post pics if I ever get my kitchen back to normal.
