Some Miscellaneous Stuff

I have had absolutely no appetite since before the surgery. It's a pretty good thing, since before, I used to crave food constantly. However, now I force myself to make sure I get in the meals I'm supposed to. From what I understand, the feeling will return in about 6-8 weeks.

My throat was a little sore after surgery because they must put a breathing tube down your throat during the procedure. It really only hurt through the first night. They give you this little swab type thing with a half cup of water to soothe it. Eh, it works OK.

I have a little bit of swelling on my right side. I believe that's where the port is. It makes my stomach look a little deformed, but that should disappear soon.

I took my first shower on Saturday and it felt AMAZING!!! No problems. I was able to get in and out of the tub and wash up by myself.

Coughing and yawning hurt my lungs a little bit. My lower right lung is all better now (Monday). My lower left lung still bothers me a little, but getting better. I haven't been so good with my breathing exercises, but I've been walking better and not getting so out of breath.
