Feeling blah

My First Mistake

Well, it didn''t take me long to make my fist mistake. i actually did it while I was wrting the "I'm Home" blog earlier. One of the major rules of "eating" post surgery, is that you should never eat (or drink your protein supplement) while doing something

I'm Home

I got to come home this morning. And I swear, having the drain pulled out of me was the worst experience of the whole surgery. It took everything I had not to throw up. It's not that it hurt tremendously (although it didn't feel good) but it felt like
