Recovering
11 years ago
Yesterday started off kind of rough, but ended okay.
nyil came over and we watched food porn shows and documentaries. It was awesome. I've had to take the stronger pain meds again despite some of the issues I have with them. I'm a wimp. I don't like pain. I've discovered that I really do have to eat a freaking meal to get the damn Vicodin to sit without making me sick, but at least when it works I don't hurt.
The hot flashes have been brutal the last couple days in particular, but I'm not running a temperature at all, so no fever. Just sweaty and gross. I'm allowed to shower now! This is a huge deal. I love being clean. @.@ I'm very frustrated at being stuck mostly in bed... And have been yelled at to not push it. c.c
I know, I know. I'm just bad at the recovery part of things. I want to get up and clean my damn house, but I can't because I'm still hobbling hunched over like a little old lady. I can't pick things up. Can't run the vacuum, barely managed to load the dishwasher yesterday... Somehow I need to get the cat boxes clean before they turn into a giant stank disaster. Argh. u.u this is why I try not to get sick. So much of this stuff Nius just can't do, and when I can't either, the house goes to shit. Right now I just want to get things under control before
nicholai gets here next Wednesday. Supposedly I should be driving by then. We'll see. My follow up appointment is the same day. Hopefully I'll also find out what they actually did to me that day, since we didn't get any information on the actual day of surgery. Blargh.
I'm mostly just grouchy and venting. I AM getting better. It's just not happening fast enough to make me happy.
