Light at the end of the tunnel?

Today is interesting so far. My body still seems to want me to eat before it'll have a bowel movement, so that is fun. More importantly the level of pain that I am experiencing is pretty low again. I was able to move around (and get out of bed) much more easily than I had previously. I haven't taken any pain killers yet today even though I am in pain as I want to try and avoid taking them during the day if I don't have to (My wife is getting some regular tylenol for me to try). I'm going to let myself have the stronger stuff at night so that I can sleep and be well rested for the next day, but I am going to (as said) try and avoid the strong stuff during the day unless I can't handle it anymore.

I still hate giving myself these shots of blood thinner though. I intensely hate needles, oh how I hate needles.

I have also gotten a meal and some fluid in, and should be eating not too long from now. I was happy to see after the morning breakfast and my "bathroom time" I weighed 377. Which, if I'm not mistaken, is about 5 lbs less than yesterday. I'm sure I'll post later if anything major happens, but it seems as though the pain is really starting to subside and overall I'm becoming much more adjusted to everything. It is too bad that it still hurts to take deep breaths and my shoulders ache.

Yesterday's weight: 382
Current weight: 377
Total Weight Lost: 5lbs
