This has been a sleepy day for me. I was able to sleep in four hour segments all night and day. When I would wake up I was only up for an hour or so and would go back to sleep. Still feel tired so thinking I will be able to sleep tonight too.
I did manage to eat something today. I had a little bit of cottage cheese around noon and just had some chicken and rice soup. So far both have stayed down and haven’t bothered me too much. I still get the occasional run of little hiccups but those are decreasing.
Pain is very tolerable not that I would wish for it to remain. Have only taken Tylenol and Ibuprofen for pain today. I need to start writing down what I took when as I can’t remember. Time is doing its thing with me and I have no relationship to it today.
This feels like what childbirth felt like for the most part except I am more tired. I am still slow moving and have no energy but I don’t have much to do anyways. Grateful I don’t have a newborn to care for right now. How do new mother’s do this? This is Day 3 of being grounded. I am not to leave the house until next Thursday and then only if absolutely necessary. He would prefer two weeks of me being grounded but said I could get out occasionally after one week.
I have a doctor’s appointment in Topeka next Friday. I will see how I am feeling Monday and I might call and change it. It is with the PA at my Endocrinologist office and I see the actual doctor about four weeks later. No need to see both so close together.
Grateful I got my tax tests taken and are done with them as my brain power seems to have reduced down a bit. Hard to focus on much right now. I’m sure that is from the drugs used to knock me out and it will gradually improve. I have to keep reminding myself I am 72 years-old and things take longer to come back on-line.
Kathy had washed my sheets and made my bed yesterday so when I came home I had a fresh bed to sleep in. That was one of the nicest gifts I have received for a long time. She also cleaned house so it was nice and fresh when I came home.
Another cold, winter like day today. I need to walk to the mailbox and get the mail but that is going to wait for a warmer day. Not sure I can walk that far but am going to give it a try tomorrow if it warms up. It will do me good to get out and walk a bit.
Grateful the pain is manageable today without the use of the heavy drugs, grateful for a clean bed last night when I got home, and grateful I was able to eat today.
