08/17/15 - Monday - Surgery Complete!

Howdy Everyone!

This morning I had out-patient surgery to remove the cyst in my right ovary.

So far, so good.

I was down at McLaren Oakland before 6:00 am this morning.

The last time I have any memory of was about 7:20 am until I woke back up from anesthesia around 9:20 am.

Around 10:00 am, they gave me two Norcos.

I was back home and to sleep around 11:45 am.

Mom picked up my prescription for Norcos.

I've got three small incisions in my left side.

I'm thirsty as all get out and had the worst case of cot mouth ever around 4:30 pm.

I'm sore. No punches to the abdominal area please!  Nothing more than that.

I can drive, as long as I'm not taking the Norcos.

No workouts or lifting over twenty pounds until after my follow up visit in two weeks.

This is actually pretty cool.

A dramatic difference from fourteen years ago.

Surgery isn't fun.  Much easier to handle this time.

As far as the workouts go,  I do still do them as previously described.  I can do 100 squats in around 5:30 now with the total workout only taking about twenty-four minutes.

I'm losing inches.  (My bras have never fit better!  On most of them, I could use another whole row of eyes.)  All the while I still weigh around 234 pounds.  This is the part I still don't get.  I'm going to keep working on it.

It's nice to now be able to do a work out and have more energy to do additional physical activities.

The head is getting clearer.   WONDERFUL!

I'm continuing to work on getting unnecessary stress out of my life.

God's making the way.

For those of you who knew about the surgery in advance, thank you for your prayers.  They are appreciated.

I'm continuing to work forward towards being the Malinda God wants me to be.

If I can make the changes I need too, you can too.  You are just as important to God as I am any day.

Start with that little mustard seed of faith and you too can move your mountains.

Sweet Dreams!  I love you all.  :-)
