Day 2

So yesterday I was up and going for the most part. I would have written a blog yesterday but our power was out for the entire day..yippee I wanted to die by 6:30 last night. :( Anyway, I went to see Dr. Pousti yesterday afternoon and they were quite surprised to see me so coherent just a day after surgery. Apparently, they told me I must have a high tolerance for pain. I was having trouble taking the Valium, it wouldn't let me urinate properly so he prescribed me some Ambien to help me sleep. Last night was awesome! Since Wednesday I pretty much have been waking up on the hour every hour and last night I slept basically until my pain meds were due to be taken again. I am not sure if I woke up because of the pain or just the fact that my subconscious mind wasn't going to let me even think about getting close to having pain. Who knows. I do know that probably with the mixture of everything, I have been pretty lethargic. If I use any of my energy it gets zapped pretty quickly.
Some of my issues as of right now are that this stinking bra itches the CRAP out of me. It's like wearing a cast and not being able to reach the spot that itches. Another one of my issues is yes, I know I am much bigger than I was before but because of the gauze and bandages I look like freaking May West. haha I feel very uncomfortable even in my husband's XL t-shirts.
I got tired of trying to sleep with my head up on my bed so I had my husband pull out our glider and put it in our bedroom which actually did a better job than I initially thought. So needless to say, that will be my bed for the next few days. Ok, so this is a little nag but a nag in the least. I am so grateful that my mother-in-law is here but I still feel like I need to be helping in some way. Either the fact that she doesn't know where I put the dishes and just finds a place for them or some other issue with housecleaning. I know I shouldn't be picky and should be grateful but I am a little OCD at times, so there is a lot of swallowing of pride going on. As for the kids and my husband they have been very helpful, so helpful I feel a little guilty being so out of commission. Hopefully a few more days and I will be better help to all of them.
As for my next appointment its not until next Friday which is killing me to even think of keeping this bra on for that length of time. I am going to call on Tuesday and see if I can get in any earlier. I should have pictures by next Friday if not sooner.
