Recovering

Posted by Rishara Wednesday, September 16, 2009

I'm recovering from the bone graft I had done yesterday.  It wasn't too horrible, but I'm still in a bit of pain.  They told me to eat ice cream and milk shakes all day since I couldn't eat anything crunchy or warm.  Of course, I completely ignored them.  I subsisted all day yesterday on deviled eggs and ice water (since the eggs were soft enough and cold enough not to cause an issue).  I ate a few bites of scrambled eggs this morning but couldn't eat much more than that due to jaw and tooth pain. 

My blood sugar is a little out of whack because they have me on steroids to control the swelling and inflammation.  It's been hovering between 140-150 throughout the day, which I don't like one bit.  Oddly enough though, my morning numbers are lower--around 120. 

I'll be posting more as I get to feeling better.  For now, I'm going to head back to bed and rest some more.

About Me

I'm a software developer by day and an avid computer gamer by night. I'm also a woman rapidly approaching middle-age with diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). I'm embarking on a lowcarb lifestyle in an effort to become healthy and live past middle-age and well into old-age.
