Follow-Up With The Surgeon

Today was my follow-up appointment with the surgeon. The first thing they always do is weigh me... with my shoes on. So, with my shoes on, I'm down 25 pounds since my last visit, before surgery. I know I've lost weight because, already, there are articles of clothing I can no longer wear. I have two bras that just hang on me... might as well not wear one at all, if I'm planning on wearing one of those. And, I have a pair of slip-on sneakers that are now too big for me. Isn't that GREAT??  Isn't that where we all want to lose, ladies?  Our boobs and feet??!!  Yipppeeeeee!  :D

But, I digress... back to the surgeon. He took that damned drain out! Yahooooooooooooo! I hated that thing! Now, it's gone and I'm soooo happy! I can drive, as long as I'm not taking the vicodin. Since I only have one left, and I plan on switching over to plain old Tylenol now, I can drive.  I can go back to water walking after I get my stitches out. The only stitches I have are the ones that were around the drain. They will come out next Friday. And that was about the extent of my visit. I have a follow-up appointment in six weeks and I shall see my own PCP tomorrow.

So, Kerry and I went to BJ's Wholesale to celebrate! LOL We bought hotdogs and hamburgers for Sunday and I'll tell the kids that I'm having a cookout. They'll come... free food.  Plus, it's father's day and they both adore their father. I'm happiest when I can cook for them. And, I'm feeling strong enough to get back to cooking, somewhat. We'll see how it goes over the next few days, as I finish my menu and get a food list together and shopping done. If nothing else, we WILL have hotdogs and hamburgers.  :)

My youngest granddaughter is graduating from preschool tomorrow and she couldn't be more pleased with herself! She marched in here this afternoon on a mission... "Granny, my graduation is at 4:45 tomorrow. Got that, Granny?" I confirmed that it was 4:45 and she was happy that the message was conveyed adequately and she ran off outside, back to her dad. Sometime later, I went outside and confirmed with her mom the time. It's 6PM. Not sure where the 4:45 came from, but she was very convincing!

That's about it for today. I'll let you know how I make out with the PCP tomorrow.  :)
