recovery

Well. I'm on the mend!!

Slept late and have been puttering all morning. I finally got out of the house and took advantage of my extra time to go take the Christmas gifts to the post office and mail everything off to the GWN (great white north!). That venture is always painful, even if you have all day to stand around.

I got a pretty wide birth though, sniffling and coughing does that! ha!! TYPHOID TAMZIN on the prowl.

Food hasn't been too appealing, so yesterday and today calories are low. Given my last weigh in... I can use all the help I can get. Husband picked up some G2 Gatorade (the low calorie stuff) to help me keep the fluids high and some electrolytes coming in. I just finished my lunch of 4 little buckwheat waffles dry.

I'm going to get on netflicks now and relax with my warm blanket on the couch and see if a nap can happen!

Amended food from Tuesday:

Wednesdays food:

Tuesdays Plan

Ahh Tuesday. The day before the day before turkey day.

I'm getting sicker. I had a salad planned for lunch, but you know when you are sick... lettuce is really not appealing.

I ventured out into wild territory.... the cafe on the first floor of our building to see if there was any good soup to be had....

Italian Wedding!! YUM! and not that bad for you. 2 cups was 240 calories of hot yummy goodness.

I'm going to struggle through the rest of today, I have too much work to go home sick. But tonight I'm going to just take it nice and easy. I have three books on the go as well. Hot lavender bath, finish a book and bed time. Maybe an episode of Fringe too... we shall see.

Water today is at 76.9 ounces. I'm about to go and get another cup of green tea and refill my water bottle. Got to get the wet stuff in me.

Food today:

Sick...ish

or rather getting there. For some unknown reason I just couldn't sleep last night and now I have that tickle in the back of my throat like something wicked this way comes.... eep!


Tonight is extra early to bed and see if I can sleep this thing off. Had a nice long hot bath after work, my legs were feeling still a little warm from this weekends 3.25mile walk (it was great), and I've been drinking lots of water and eating pretty good (until I got into the stone wheat crackers after bath time).

Dinner is Tom Yum Soup, dumplings and edemame. Then its a bit of tv time and into the bed!

Fingers crossed tomorrow morning is going to find me feeling spry again!

Vertical

Thanks all for the well wishes for my minor surgery. It was well... pretty major in terms of how it has wiped me out for the last 4 days. My gawds! Sedation is the way to go though... I don't remember a thing!

I've been high on T3's and eating antibiotics and a virtual all liquid/jello diet! I've been sleeping/napping and watching seasons 2 and 2.5 of Battle Star Galactia (don't judge, I'm a space nerd) and then season three of Dexer (woohoo I'm also a serial killer nerd!). So its nice to be mostly vertical now for a while.

Anyway - its been a rough few days, but I'm getting better and I think that I'll be able to go to work tomorrow - at least for most of the day if not all of it. Anyway - its been jello, ice cream and soup so it will be nice to get to chew again!

Weight in day tomorrow and I have to say that this little drug induced hiatus from the scale has been good. I'm off to bed! :)
