Well, it's been a week since the big operation, and I'm doing all right.
As Ben let you all know, the operation itself went pretty well. And Ben and my mom took good care of me that weekend, and Ben has been taking good care of me since. (Thank you, sweetie.)
I am off the pain meds, which was a wise decision since they were making me sick and more forgetful than usual. Also, I was convinced they were not affecting me at all, which was entertaining to watch, I'm sure.
I am doing ok. I am still very sleepy and not able to do much except laze around, but that is ok since I am out until the 22nd for sure. I seem to not be on a real schedule right now. I sleep 12 hours, get up for 4, sleep for a couple, and get up for a couple and repeat. So, basically, I have no bed time. It's weird.
I'm getting better every day. The pain is getting better, and overall, I am starting to feel better. I might even try to leave the house tomorrow for a walk around the parking lot with my honey! :) We know how to have a good time.
Otherwise, thank you for the kind thoughts, well wishes, cards, flowers, prayers, and blog comments. Everything has helped a lot. It's nice to be cared about.
I hope you are all doing well, too!

I'm so glad to hear you are doing well and healing! Excellent. Now it's only downhill from here. Hoorah! And don't worry if you need a few extra days off from work. :) -Jill
Posted by: Jill at October 18, 2008 09:40 PMI am glad you are doing so much better! Yay to sleeping anytime you want, I am jealous I want to stay home all day and do nothing, without the surgery though. :-)
I loved your China pattern btw! Gorg! (yes I've suddenly become a New York WASP)
