Healing

Hi All,
I am up and awake still even though it will be pushing 3am by the time I get my butt into bed. I imagine that will be coming up soon since I gave in and took my pain medicine. I have been trying to stay away from it but today I certainly over did it a little bit with litter boxes tonight. But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

Anyway, I'm still healing. Slowly, but surely! I still feel like I have been carved up like a turkey and I have a bruise the size of a dvd case to prove it. My incision is looking good. Ironically the bruise is surrounding my incision and not over top of it. Thank goodness! I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried about how & when it will ever finish healing. I am starting to wonder like my dad if it will burst open. My poor dad asked my mother, the nurse, what could happen to my incision after I had the incident in the hospital (before discharge with the bleeding). My mother calmly told him that it would just bleed out. His concern was that I wouldn't wake up. Mine was that I would ruin my friends sheets & bed. Now I worry about my favorite comforter and not wanting to have to miss anymore work. I feel so bad as it is. I seen a coworker tonight when I went with my dad to get my mom from work (so I could get my prescription filled). He made sure to tell me that I was missed today on Rehab. Apparently just like when I had surgery last time, it has been nothing short of crazy there. Seems to me like I picked a good time to be off. :)

Well I have rambled on enough. This pain med is making it hard to stay awake again. Besides, my puppy dog needs outside and I need to get us tucked into bed before I fall asleep on the couch again! lol
Until next time,
