I start rehab on Wednesday and was concerned about it because I haven't been able to get around as much as I would have liked until yesterday. Losing the waterweight seems to have put me in a whole new state of mind. I am anxious to see how it goes. The first appointment is to set everything up so won't actually do anything until Friday. I have several appointments scheduled and had checked them yesterday but forgot and scheduled one at the same time as my rehab so I to call and reschedule again tomorrow. I meet with my regular doctor this week for a post op appointment. The other appointments aren't until September.

I lost all the water weight (6 pounds of it) yesterday and I woke up feeling great. I was able to get around without feeling exhausted for the first time. Don't know what happened but all of a sudden it just seemed to melt away. Too bad that couldn't happen last week. I came home on the fifth day and then ended up having so many problems breathing that I had to go to the emergency room. They put me back in and I stayed 5 more days which wasn't fun. They tried Lasek and some of it went but then my blood pressure got bad and they couldn't keep it up so they had to stop the lasek and just let me try to get rid of the water on my own. I still had a lot of water when I came home. It was all very frustrating.
