On Baby A's birthday, the c-section surgery went as planned. I walked into the OR around 9:30am and was pushed out around 2 hours later. W was instructed to wait outside while the team was getting me prepared for anesthesia. He then got invited to come in and sat next to me while the team worked on getting Baby A out of me 😂. W was a good DJ and Baby A was born while Taylor Swift's Shake It Off was being played. So...did I feel any pain during this life-changing surgery? No, I didn't. I had a spinal block. I never felt any type of pain during the surgery. Getting the anesthesia injected - however - was the most uncomfortable part of the surgery. There was a lot of pressure. I felt my back being pulled or pushed, or something. It just felt very uncomfortable, not painful, but very uncomfortable. It was also hard to try leaning toward the source of that uncomfortableness. Learning to relax while being uncomfortable was a very hard thing to do. But it was necessary. Once it...
Got my pills at 1:45. I can now swallow 3 pills at a time! Cuts down my pill-taking time about 1/3 lol. This week will be great as I know I'll be eating a lot more other stuff, since my friend and I are flying to Atlanta on Saturday. I won't be coming home until Wednesday which gives me plenty of "opportunity" to explore the food market in Atlanta....we'll also be playing at Six Flags (both parks!) for two whole days and I probably will have something like fried chicken while there...not sure what I could eat there that's INH/Pre-diabetes friendly. I won't be bringing my laptop or any computer device this time. Think my Galaxy Note will suffice my need for Facebook & e-mails and take care of the occasional urge for web surfing.

Brunch-
Vietnamese "flat noodle soup," with beef brisket, "beef stomach," and thinly sliced beef in a very flavorful broth with mint leafs, cilantro, green onions, and onions. I'm sure there's things in that broth I should have had, but....I failed to pull myself back at the little South China House.
Snack-
2 slices of homemade vanilla honey cake.
Dinner-
Rice noodles soup, with leftover broth from brunch. Sooo sooo yummy OMG :D!
Snack-
"Potato crips" x10 (salted baked potato chips, bought this from Southeast Market this afternoon)
and lots of lemonade to offset my weird thirst...
Weight: 171.2 (ahhhhh it bounced....very legit bounce actually...considering all the food I've been having..)
Side effect: orangish pee by nightfall (no redness yet? or I guess orange-ish is derived from having red in my pee...nervermind)
Side note: been feeling thirsty a lot today. maybe a new side effect that's kicking in or perhaps it's the MSG in that noodle soup broth from brunch. not sure. drank lots of water and lemonade today. like almost 2 liter of them combined.
