Starting to feel "normal" again. I noticed this morning that it didn't hurt so much to roll over and get out of bed. The shoulder pain is starting to subside. And I'm starting to understand when I feel full. I was able to walk 1.5 miles two days in a row and plan on doing it again today. I'm also finding foods that work for me while I'm still in the liquids/puree stage. I'm not a oatmeal fan but can tolerate it. Right now, for breaskfast I take about 1/4 c. unsweetented applesauce, packet of splenda, couple ozs of milk and 1/2 packet of oatmeal. Nuke it and it makes a very filling warm breakfast. I do a protein shake but have to split a whole one in two eating sessions because I can't get a whole one down. I made some chicken soup last night and pureed it. So, that will be my dinner. I also have been eating mashed potatoes, sf jello and sf pudding. I have another week of eating like this. Can't wait to be able to eat more solid foods. I'm a big fish eater (not tuna though) and miss it.

I go back to work tomorrow. At this point I don't know if I'll make it through an 8 hour day. I was exhausted yesterday and ended up sleeping 10.5 hours last night. Yesterday was the first day that I drove to town, went shopping and walked at the Y. I'm guesssing that's what exhausted me. Luckily, I can get away with doing paperwork in my office and attending meetings. I think it'll be another week before I start seeing patients.
