Recovery !!! = )

Sorry i havent updated at all. I had my surgery on the 26 of March. FINALLY!!!..

I got to the hospital at 5 am and had surgery on 7:30. The doc. said i did great and no problems.  I woke up at 1 in that afternoon and felt overheated. i later found out that they put 10 blankets on me!!! i guess they figured that i would be shivering as a result of the anesthesia, nope, instead i vomited just a little. I recovered in the ICU for that day and i was gone the next! Haha i left the hospital in the afternoon, thank goodness! I now learn that i hate hospitals. tehe...

I know its a week 1/2 all ready but I feel like a new person now. Every one says give it time to see real results but like i said i all ready feel the diffrence. I have a bad habit of exercising by doing sit-up with my ipod music and one thing i aint good at is self- discipline. I kinda get into the music too much. I never leave my ipod anywhere ,heck, i get agitated if someone touchs it. Soooo as of now i dont got any music for a week.  Now lets see how long i last without it.....

Well back to my heck of a life, thanks for all the suport but i will be back =) Good luck to all other Chiarians cuz now I'M A ZIPPERHEAD....i man ..going crazy all ready =)
