Discharged and spending the week at JENNY'S....

I was relieved to be discharged from the hospital.  Our first stop once we got to Oshawa was a the SUPERSTORE  to fill my prescription for Prevacid and Oxycodone for pain.  We pull in to the parking lot and who jumps out of the car behind us ... But Jenn! She yells hey!! I was so excited to see her!!  We made our way in to the store and I dropped off my prescriptions and picked up various yummy things that I could eat on the liquid diet such as Sugar free pudding, Skim Milk, Protein shake called Muscle Milk, Cream of Mushroom Soup, Tomato Soup and Sugar free whip topping for Jello.   Once we arrived at Jenn's house you would of thought we where moving in with the amount of stuff we had ... lol ... I got settled in the spare room. Unpacked all clothes, make up etc and set it all up so I would be quite comfortable for the week.  Jenn and I spend the rest of the day catching up while I  was quite cosy on her gigantic couch.

I felt quite good and seemed to have minimal discomfort. When I was in pain it was in my back and as the week went on the pain got lower and lower in my back.. Nothing that the Oyx woundn't fix tho.. I have been very  careful with taking them and there has only been one day that I had to take 3 I've been getting by on just 1 or 2 a day when the discomfort gets bad later in the day once I've been up and going all day.   It's been a very busy week. On Thursday I was able to shower and I think it was the best shower ever!  Jenn and I went out to walmart and did some shopping I purchased some athletic leggings that have become my new FAVORITE PANTS.  I also purchase various items useful in assisting with weightloss. Best new purchase was the MAGIC BULLET.  

I have been using Jenn's Bullet to add protein powder to my soup.  My favourite meals this week have been Cream of Mushroom Soup and protein powder and Tomato soup with protein powder, cottage cheese and an obseen amount of pepper .  I have been doing quite well with protein and fluids averaging 65g protein and 55 oz fluids.  I happy with that for my first week post op.

The protein powder above it what I have been adding to my soups. It makes the soup a lot thicker but does not really change the flavour.  What I love is I add 1 scoop to 3oz of soup and it's makes it so easy to get in all my daily protein.  

On Thursday Mike went to pick up my son Braidleigh from my parents house.  I called and talked to Dad in the morning at about 9am. Dad told him that my husband was coming to pick him up later today. Braidleigh jumped up and went to the bedroom, packed up all his belongings took them to the door. And started to put his coat on.   hahaha ... I guess he missed us!! Bless him!!   SO I guess it was a long morning for him and Dad.  Mike arrived at 1:00 ish and Braid had been sitting with his coat and hat on for an hour.  I was very happy to see my little man and get some snuggles!! 

Jenn had to take her kids to Cub camp on Friday night. So on Friday she spent most of the day getting everything together for that little adventure.   I needed to walk and I am not a fan of the cold so I decided to go out and do some more shopping. My first adventure out on my own was to the Superstore.  I had noticed a great sale on make-up when I was there on Wednesday so I wanted to check it out.  I got a lot of great make -up and the best part was everything I bought was $1.94 each and there was no tax!! Can't go wrong with that. Now I have lots of new tools to be beautiful!!!!

Friday Mike had to go home to go back to work. Jenn and the kids went to camp and that just left Me and Braidleigh with Jenn's husband Jason for the weekend.  Friday night was pretty uneventful   Saturday I was hoping to sleep in since everyone one else was gone. I kept Braid up late Friday night with hopes that he would sleep in ... NO SUCH LUCK IN MY LIFE ... hahaha.  We where up and ready for the day by 8:30 am.   I was bored outta my mind!! You don't realize how much you take for granted your car so you can go where you want until you have it taken away.  Mike took our van home so I was SOL.  In the afternoon Jason was kind enough to take Braid and I to the Mall.  I did some browsing and found  lot of clothes that I just can't wait to buy in my new skinny size!!  Braid got a Toy at Zellers.  I swear that place jacked up the prices and then said it's 30% off...What a rip off.  Since I'm not at the stage where I can purchase clothes I  went to the bath and body works for soap.  While in the line the cutest little air fresheners for your car caught my eye.  The Monkey is just the cutest   

Saturday Night mike came back after work so we could head home on Sunday.  I had a great time at Jenny's my only complaint is that she had to leave for the weekend and I would rather of spent more time with her.  But I totally understand that she had the boys camp thing!!  I was very happy to be heading home to the comfort of my house and to my own bed!! 

Thank you Jenny's and Jason for having me and my crazy family for the week!!!
