12 Days post Surgery

I have been home since Friday afternoon!!! It has been wonderful to be at home! 9 days in the hospital were long enough. I still don't have much of an appetite and can only eat a little bit before getting full. I am trying to eat about 6 small meals a day. I have lost 8 lbs since my surgery, which does not surprise me since I am eating so little.

On Saturday, I took my first shower since surgery and it was amazing! It's funny how such a simple daily activity can make you feel 100 times better.

I am still getting tired really easily and have already fallen into a routine. I wake up around 8:30am to eat breakfast and take care of my pancreas drain bag. Then I get cleaned up and take pain meds around 11am. By this time I'm exhausted and lay down for a nap. I sleep till 12:30/1pm then eat lunch. After lunch, I read or crochet for a bit before my afternoon nap around 3pm. I wake up around 5pm and eat dinner/spend time with my husband before hitting bed to watch TV around 8pm. I usually fall asleep by 10pm and wake up once during the night. It sounds exciting right?!
