Loren and I went walking this morning. It was definitely not a good idea to do so with the heat we are having, even early in the morning. I am just not getting enough protein yet and since I can't drink too much at one time it was hard to keep the water intake up to counteract the heat. I got pretty lightheaded half way through and we had to stop for me to rest for a bit. I did make it to the end but have done nothing since coming home but sitting here trying to get as much fluids in as possible before 11 AM. I am at 26 ozs so far, so not too bad. I skipped breakfast since I can't drink for an hour after eating. Besides, they still want me to put liquids before food and say not to eat unless hungry. Since I still do not feel hunger, that is pretty easy to do. We have decided that until the heat subsides we will do our walking in the mall. That way we can probably even increase our distance walked.
I need to go to the mall to have my 6 month check on my anniversary ring and pick up a birthday gift. Since it is supposed to be over 100 degrees again today I told the girls I would swim with them today since my incisions are healed. And guess what, as of this morning the bruising from the lovenox injection is finally gone!
Tonight I am going to a late night movie with a group of ladies from the support group. Last night was the first night I stayed up late since surgery, so hopefully I will be able to do it again tonight.
