Working 9-5

Woohoo! Back to working a full day without experiecing a massive blood sugar crash at 4pm. Monday through to Wednesday I had to cut my hours down (only by half an hour) due to feeling light headed and exhausted. Today though, I worked 8 hours. I'm starting to feel like I'm getting my energy back - I'm not as wiped out as I was even two days ago (I did have a 20 minute nap when I got home but that is totaly beside the point!).

I am now able to lay on my left side most of the night now without any pain or niggling (I have had some left hip/back pain for the last two days but I think it's related to my horrific back condition rather than anything to do with the surgery). I can roll over without bracing my stomach with a pillow. And can get in & out of bed without having to plan it. And I can lay on my stomach again. Annnnd .. I can run for the bus! Yup! I ran for the bus this afternoon without even thinking ... by the time I did think about what I'd done, I realised I'd had no pain or discomfort. I can feel a rendezvous with the gym coming on!

Speaking of a rendezvous ... I have a date for my first band fill. Pencil the 2nd September into your diaries, kiddies ... that's when I'll be getting a whopping great needle poked into (& digging around in!) my gut to put the first lot of saline fluid into the band port. Aaaaaw ... I soooo hate needles. I begin to feel faint at the very sight of them! *pulls a face*
