Monday – September 7th

Ive got myself a nice little 4 day weekend. Tomorrow I head back to Chapel Hill for my post op check up. Friday I went out with friends… and caved and hand two drinks. I was fine! I had to go to the bathroom one time all night and that was it. I didn’t end up getting home and in bed until 5:30… So you can pretty much expect that Saturday was a wash. I did a lot more lying around….but hey, I’m healing, I’m allowed! I was going to hit golf balls today for the first time since February, but it was too wet and rainy. Hopefully I’ll get out one day this week after work. Overall I’m feeling pretty good. Excited with the progress. Looking forward to getting back to the gym and gaining back my weight. An excited milestone this weekend, besides two captain and cokes, was I slept on my stomach! I haven’t done that since March. Truth is I woke up on my stomach and realized it didn’t hurt at all. I have to be careful when I move from side to side because sometimes the wound pulls and that hurts but other then that it’s fine. I’d like to be going a little less, but it has only been three weeks, after all. We’ll see what the doc has to say tomorrow and I’ll let you know. He did say I had a stricture in the hospital, which I believe I mentioned, but as a refresher, basically a narrowing at the rectum from lack of use. I fear he may have to place his finger into my already emotionally scarred butt, to take care of it. Not looking forward to that. At all. We’ll talk soon!
