I am so nervous for my appointment this week....I wont be seeing Shelokov...but i'll be seeing Eric...and I am dreading the 5 hour drive (we couldn't afford the plane ticket).
I have had all these questions pop into my head but well it's when I am groggy and in bed and cannot get up....I feel like I should be asking important things...so I am here to see what things you asked at this point...or what things you were able to do at this point.
Right now with the small setbacks I have been having...i had been sleeping nonstop for three days...my days and nights have been flipped...and well I am literally losing it. I feel that I will have to go onto medication to fight depression, and wondered if anyone else dealt with this post op as well. It's hard to be so isolated, and the fact I am flipped...means I miss out on my family because i am awake and they are sleeping and vice versa. So I miss out on my kiddos (who are 2 and 4) and that is just killing me...and when I am awake I hear stories about them from my MIL and it kills my heart. I do get some time with them here and there...but its so little.
I will find out how tall I am on thursday (no i haven't measured myself) i just want to see the xrays of my beautiful new spine...hear how tall I am now and have the shock of it all and excitement in one day. I'm a nerd.
I've noticed I am down 7lbs even though I am eating...at least 3 meals seeing I sleep so much...and on my 'good' days when I am awake more than 8 hours I am eating 5 small meals...I am drinking over 32oz of water a day...and I don't know what is going on...I am drinking boost, but it seems inevitable that I will lose weight, is that right??
I am so full of questions, but I honestly cannot remember them.
I cannot believe it has been an entire month already, I just cannot believe I really even did this and I am just so overwhelmed with my emotions. This board has been such a great help the last 3 weeks, I don't know what I would have done without it.
