Sleeping Well

the end of another post-op day and it was a little on the eventful side.  I'm finding that eating after gall bladder surgery has its issues.  Things that never bothered me - chocolate, cheese - will bother me for a time.  I'm hoping its not for all time, because those are two favs!

I took a walk around the block.  The weather turned, became cooler and a misty rain fell for half an hour.  My BFF came and took me to the park, that was nice to get out and walk around.  However, I got chilled.  So much so that I put on another shirt. I laid down under covers for a short nap. Even by dinner time I didn't feel up to eating.  But I'm finding that eating helps my metabolism speed up, and could feel the deep recesses heating up.  I felt a lot better after eating something.  Chicken breast, mashed potatoes and carrots.  Kinda sux, because don't you feel like calories don't count when you're on vacation, and all your favs outta be on the menu????  lol

I am trying something different tonight.  Borrowed Mom's heating pad, gonna see if that helps me get any additional sleep.  Maybe being just a little on the cold side -- which is how I prefer to sleep -- is keeping me from getting a good night's rest.   We shall see.
