6 days post-op and first day back to work

The past 4-5 days have been pretty uneventful and not too difficult. I have been doing good with eating my soups and liquids and haven't had too much pain. I had some upper back pain yesterday but that may have just been from sleeping weird.

But today was my first day back to work. It's an easy day and not a long one. Tomorrow will be more hectic and longer, as I have class and won't be home til probably 9:30 p.m. and will have to leave about 7:45 a.m.

I woke up feeling nauseous, which is weird because I haven't felt that way since I woke up at the hospital. I took some anti-nausea medicine and it seems to have helped. I am also more hungry than I have been any other day. I am REALLY craving a soda. I know I can't have one, so I won't, but that won't stop the craving. I ate my tomato soup for lunch and it was way more filling than I figured it would be. I am definitely full.

I need to be better prepared at work from now on, I need to bring some of my mix-ins for water because drinking plain water all day gets old. I do have a protein shake for a snack later this afternoon.

My tummy is also itchy, I guess the wounds are healing and that's why. I haven't had a pain pill since before bed last night and I don't feel like I need one. I am getting sleepy though.

Otherwise, everything is good back at work. Just trying to get caught up.
