In the week that I've been recovering I have found a few things that I have missed:
1. Blowing my nose! I never really thought about how many times I generally blow my nose (usually after I get out of the shower or before I go to bed), until I couldn't blow my nose at all! Who knew that you needed ab muscles to blow your nose??
2. Tooting (or even pooping)! Man oh man - It's not like I tooted all the time but I was pretty regular BEFORE my surgery. Whenever I get to toot I'm so thrilled to share that information! Even "using the bathroom" is a momentous event to share with my husband ~ but good grief it just wears me out completely!
3. Sleeping on my side or back! I can't say that I'm a side sleeper, a back sleeper or a tummy sleeper..but I know that I'm not a full-time back sleeper. Once I get these drains out (Wednesday), I may be able to at least lean to one side.
4. Wearing undies! I've been wearing XL boxers that Rich went out and bought, for almost a week now. No, not the same pair...clean ones every day....These babies are HUGE but they fit over the tubes and drains comfortably.
5. Sleeping in my bed! Rich and I have been camping on the sofa for a week. We tried sleeping in our bed the other night but neither of us got any rest..so we moved back to the sofa. I love waking up in the middle of the night to Rich holding my hand, He's awesome.
It's getting better! No regrets!
