Recovery

It is now 3 days after surgery & here I am at my very good friend Sharon's recovering. I am doing pretty good as far as pain. I think the biggest problem I am having is I am surprised how much pain I am actually in. I have turned into a big sissy! I have already been given the "don't over do it" lecture too many times to keep track of. Ok, maybe not that many times but when your talking to a girl (me) who is taking liquid vicodin not a whole sinks in. :)

There's Sharon ------> I've been here 2 days and she's still smiling, sorta. lol

I have been trying to take it easy and not do too much like I did on Friday. They sprung me from the hospital on Friday and after that I had to do some grocery shopping & wanted to pick up my pictures I ordered ( to have ready for our upcoming scrap booking weekend.) Well I felt good until I got home, Boy was I tired! But I took a much needed nap. Now I am not allowed to over do anything. Sharon and Joe have both been great!! Sharon has been really extremely nice. They got all the good stuff for me, ok, well the stuff I can have. Popsicles, jello (she even made it!), broth and juice. It's been a long time since anyone has done that for me. Besides Sharon helping me by making sure I am eating & giving up her bed, Joe brought the bar stool from their kitchen down to the basement so I could use my computer at the bar/counter down here with Sharon. I tell ya, either my parent's better get home soon or I better be 100% or I'm moving in. lol.

<------ There's Joe, hiding from the camera. I used to be a lot sneakier with getting pics but he is a little fast for me right now. Thanks Joe!

Besides the visitors in the hospital, My parents, Sharon, Jane from work, Jim ( I am such a princess the PA that I work with came to see me in the hospital) and my Aunt Marilyn came too. She even brought me flowers. They are so pretty, & they are still alive. I am so proud of myself for that one. Oh got off a tangent. I have had a dozen voicemail's & text messages too! Of course the 1 important thing I forgot was my cell charger. But that's ok since I haven't been awake enough to answer it and talk coherently.

On that note if I forgot something, or am making no sense, I am blaming it on the pain meds. Also I am ready for a nap. No, I haven't been sleeping the whole time. Close to it though, but it's hard trying to find out how I am comfortable. It's a little weird knowing that there is a foreign object in your body and of course it's on the side I normally sleep on. Just my luck.

Anyway, until next time. Happy sleeping.
