Little Stevie Update

We have had little Stevie for a Month and half now. When we first brought him to the Vet he weighed 1.5 pounds. Today he is a whopping 3.5 !! I think he is well fed lol. He is growing so quickly. His head seems small compared to his body hehe but I am sure it will catch up.

Ok this is a late late update. I guess I got sidetracked.

We have had Stevie for 3 months now he is now 5.8 pounds and still growing !! He still isn't very coordinated , Im sure its his eye that throws his balance off. It doesn't stop him from doing a thing though. He chases the other kitties around the house. He even chases Julius who is 3 times the size he is. He has no fear at all. He is also a bit nippy but he is getting better.

Here he is helping Samantha carve her pumpkin lol

Day 3 Hernia and Gallbladder Oh My

Day 3 feeling pretty good. I called the Dr office just to make sure I can have a shower. She said the covering are plastic so there is no problem having a shower. AHHHHH felt really nice.

I had Vegan chili for dinner yesterday so Im a little gassy. :)

It says I can go back to regular duties as long as there is no heavy lifting. So tonight I will make Bang Bang Shrimp for my daughter :) She will Love it !

Day 2 of Hernia and Gallbladder Oh My

Day 2 was spent coughing and breathing and moving around. All VERY IMPORTANT things. I guess they blow a bunch of stuff into you and you want to make sure you get it all out. So the deep breathing in through your nose and out your mouth slowly is important. It clears your lungs as well. I think it helps you not to be stiff.
And today for the very first time in MONTHS I ate PEANUT BUTTER !!  I was EXTREMELY HAPPY !!
I don't think I mentioned this but in the process of me finding out I had gallstones I then became vegan and totally got rid of saturated fats. Now peanut butter does has some saturated fat 1.5 grams I wasn't taking any chances. I also eat a lot of raw foods, which has a lot of nuts in it so I had to take those out of my diet as well. But now I can eat them again YAY !!!!

Hernia and Gallbladder Surgery Oh My

Since I have nothing better to do with myself for the next month I will blog about my surgery. Just in case it helps others.
My surgery was Wednesday (today is Friday) I was a little nervous since I hadn't had any operations since my oldest was born 30 years ago. You wait in the little waiting room until they call your name. then they take all your vitals. Then they lead me into another room where the nurse was making sure she had the list of all my allergies. Funny I had forgot some and I guess its important because there can be derivatives of these in medications and so on. So once that was done she gave me my gowns and slippers and told me to change. Once changed I sat in another waiting room with my hubby and oldest daughter until it was my turn. I was actually kind of excited cause the thoughts of not having this Gallbladder anymore was AWESOME !! They hernia was a surprise the Dr told me I had one when I went for my first appointment WEEEE !!
Next I sat in a chair in a cubby. It reminded me of going to the office in school. Then the anaesthesiologist came and went over my allergies again and checked out my veins (I have good veins). after a few questions the nurse came and led me to the operating room. Pretty much how I remember it. Bright white and clean with Great Big Lights. They bundled me up in nice warm blankets. I had both my arms out to the sides. One for blood pressure the other for anesthesia. The anesthesia Dr said ok Allison your going to go to sleep now. I could hear my rate pick up, the nurse assured me it would be ok and then I woke up in recovery LOL

I expected to wake up in all kinds of pain but really I was just kind of sore. I remember saying to the nurse how comfortable the bed was. She said oh you Must be Tired LOL.

All in all it was a pleasant experience if you can say that about a operation. I have a bandage over my belly button one under my right boob and 2 more down my right side.
