Went to the dr. today. They are not too pleased with my eating ... said I should normally be taking in 1600 calories a day and right now that should be doubled!!! I still don't have my appetite back since the surgery. I lost 10 lbs. and gained 1/2 inch in height. I couldn't stand to lose 10 lbs. I look like those anorexic (sp???) people that you see on TV!
They did switch my narcotics in hopes that it would help with my appetite. I'm going to try to only use Extra Strength Tylenol during the day. We'll see!
I had to be fitted for a new brace. In the past week, I could tell it probably wasn't fitting properly any more. The dr. agreed and sent me down to have it adjusted. It was so bad that they're making a new one. I've lost all of the swelling from the surgery so now I'm swimming in it.
I got the ok to drive again. I also got orders to start getting 30 min. of aerobic exercise 4 times a week.
