      I found these amusing and they gave me a painful giggle or 2.  Not much going on this morning.  I am awake because the new pain pill makes me itch.  I remember that now from the last time I was on them.  Hopefully today I can do without or go back to the darvocet. 

   Sugar,  I do have 4 small incisions with a total of 13 staples not one big incision.  I think they used staples because my incisions have a tendency to break open.   The one on my belly button has 5 staples and itches extremely.

   I am feeling better today except for the itch and have already done some dusting.  Already I am sick and tired of sitting around.  The weather was 60 yesterday and I looked longingly at my bike but resisted the temptation.

   Another thing I have resisted was weighing in.I remember after my breast reduction I weighed in the next day and was up 11 pounds from the fluids.  I know I am up today as I can't get my rings on.  Don't need that mental trauma today.  My stomach is so swollen I have only been wearing my sweats.  They feel pretty comfortable. 

 

    Tomorrow is my oldest son's birthday.   We sent his gifts and card out the day before my surgery so I hope he got them.  I sure miss him.  Next weekend is Ricks birthday.  We might go to Iowa City to see some motorcycle trials.  One of the few sports I enjoy is watching motocross.   I would like to go and do something special for Ricks birthday.

    Another problem with my journal.  When I try to correct a word and delete the letter and retype the word wants to erase.  That is why remember is spelled the way it is up there.  If I try to fix it the entire entry gets erased.  I did just to spell check which fixed it but what a pain.

    I have been thinking about quitting my journal.  They are thinking of making them more like the AIM pages which I am not thrilled with.  Either quitting the journal or just going private.  I think it starts in November so I will see how it goes but it is more for the younger people from what I see.  I might just restart a private journal and get back on my weightloss journey.  I am really feeing gung ho about it especially with my tummy swollen to twice its size.  Looks like it did before I lost weight.
