got Mrs. Shoo?

Thanks to everyone for all the concern!!

I’m feeling  much better. There were a few days where I was absolutely miserable. I don’t remember a lot after the surgery (all that anesthesia), but the next day, I was feeling pretty good. I was talking and eating the jell-o like it was my job. But it was downhill from there…I had several miserable days…several awful days…and a couple painful days, but I’m on the upswing.

I made it to the Shoo’s for Easter, but was absolutely miserable. Grandma Shoo had prepared an amazing looking spread of food…too bad all I could do was stare at it and drool. The mashed potatoes and gravy, jell-o, and deviled eggs were thoroughly enjoyable; however, it would’ve been really nice to fill my plate like the rest of the Shoo family.

I’m taking down the water like it’s my job, and I’m still pretty limited on what I can eat–pudding has become a diet staple. Talking too much becomes really painful, so who knows how school will go tomorrow…

Two good things about spending my Spring Break laid up on the couch: The hubby has been my personal nurse/servant for the past 10 days or so…and I’ve lost about 10 pounds in 10 days. My clothes are fitting much looser. I went on a mini-shopping spree for my birthday today and came home and had a fashion show for Mr. Shoo. Even he noticed my weight loss. Maybe not the healthiest way to lose weight, but I’ll take what I can get.

p.s. I’ve really been missing fruits and veggies, but a lot of them are too hard to go down my throat easily. I discovered a way to enjoy some fruit–pureed pears. Whoever gave us the food processor as a wedding present is my hero right now.
