An extra 20 pounds.  Usually on my left hip. Sometimes on my right.

It’s getting harder to walk around with it.

The worst part is bending over and picking up a toy or something these 20 pounds drops while I’m carrying it. But thankfully, these 20 pounds can now walk around the house on their own.

Soon I won’t be able to carry these extra 20 pounds. Nope. Within the next two weeks when I lose about 25 pounds… I will also lose the ability to carry these extra 20 pounds for a whole 6 weeks. Wow! That’s an extra 45 pounds of weight I’ve been lugging around! Am I going to feel like I’m floating without these 45 pounds or what?

Well, actually, the floating feeling may just be from all the pain meds. And lack of sleep.
