The Wednesday After

Today is 3 days out of surgery. I hurt like hell in my back. I have some gas on my tummy that just won't release so I'm doing these disgusting deep down belches. At some point I know my body will scream poop-time and it will double the discomfort I feel right now. TMI? Oh well.

Rich has been phenomenal! Yesterday he gave me a bath and changed my bandages. Today did the same thing but he also washed my hair for me. He has cooked 3 meals a day just so I can eat on time and take my meds. I truly don't know how I could go through this recovery without him. I find myself apologizing to him for having to take care of me,,and in the same breath thanking him for the same thing. If anyone needs a break..it's Rich. I will owe him more than I can pay back for all that he has done for me.

So how am I feeling today? Sore..in a bruised kind of way. My incision does not hurt but for one tiny spot. I'm getting around well - hunched over. There is a burning sensation around my drain tubes but it's all good.

My vision is still extremely blurry. As a matter of fact, I can type this post out but I can't read it. Weird, huh?

That's the update for right now.

The Dark Days

I still have them...just without drinking through them. Sometime I wish I could, but it's not an option if I want to live. Peace
