rest and relaxation...

I didn't end up posting after all yesterday, as it was my most painful day. I think the carbon dioxide was to blame for that, as it was a more all-over achiness that corresponded with some bizarre bloating in my midsection. I'm doing much better today. I'm a little more mobile which tires me out some, but overall am doing much better sitting up and moving around. There's been hardly any vaginal bleeding, too, which is good, I suppose -- means that they cauterized me perhaps?? or that I'm healing quickly.

My incisions have bled a little, and there is some light discoloration under my navel -- possibly bruising, I think -- so I have a call in to the office to ask about those things. My throat is still sore, too, and it's almost like I have a cold in my throat -- I plan to have G get me some guafenasin so that I can get all the blech out of there. Yuck.

But aside from these minor things, I'm feeling pretty well. I'm taking my pain medication less frequently now, and am getting around better today than the first two days. Plus, I get to shower tonight! -- they used the "glue" on my incisions rather than stitches, so I wasn't allowed to get it wet at all for 48 hours. (My discharge instructions actually said "no swimming"... yeah, I was planning on doing some laps, darnit!) G helped to wash my hair yesterday afternoon, though, which felt WONDERFUL. He's being quite the excellent caregiver.

So, back to the easy chair I go, there are movies to watch and magazines to read. Rough life, I know.

Thanks for all the positive thoughts!
