So, it's been almost three months since surgery and life at the Underwoods is FINALLY getting back to normal (keep in mind, "normal" is just our version of controlled chaos). I am so thankful to finally feel good again, I never want to go through an expeierience like that again. No matter how much support you have, you can only feel crappy for so long before a wave of depression and hopelessness comes in. I have been so fortunate to nearly miss any long term side effects and problems. My pancrease does not produce the enzyme need to absorb fat (and this is a problem why???), so Dr. P prescribed enzymes that I have to take with every meals. Pretty frustrated, when I asked him if there were any side effects from the meds he said, "weight gain". BOOOO! But, it's what my body needs to digest food and get what it needs. However, I think I will use it to my advantage. Like last night when Jeremy came home with an extra double cheeseburger from Burger King, I ate it right up and didn't take my meds, Get it....Then I can't absorb the fat! Win Win. Not really, I didn't feel so lucky hours later when my body couldn't digest it. It seemed like a good idea in the moment.
Now we are back to work, school, baseball and dance. The schedule keeps us very busy, but I am blessed and thankful to be back to normal. Pics and out dated posts to come!
