Hopefully I will not scare any of you! LOL
I thought it appropriate
to post proof that sleep can happen! Thus the wonderful “bed head” picture!
I have almost no memory of yesterday. It was one of those days that sleep overtook everything.
I did exactly what my body demanded and curled up in bed. I did not even think of combatting the heavy eyelids.
It was actually very freeing to just give in and allow my body to dictate its needs.
I am so thankful for a supportive husband and son that allow me to completely disconnect when my body demands it.
Per conversation with my doctor’s office, I am to continue taking it easy…moving about the house as I can…no bending, twisting, lifting, stretching. All is still looking good under the binder…swelling in lowest part of abdomen present…not nearly like before in other procedures.
At my follow up appointment, we will remove the tape and bandages…and at some point thereafter will be allowed to take a shower! I am thankful that our home is so well prepared for handicap…the bathroom counter is taller than normal….so it is easier to wet hair down.
It is important to make sure you have someone around! No matter how careful you are you will end up dropping something! LOL And…believe me…there is NO way to pick it up without asking for help.
At this point, I am better able to tell the difference from the surgical discomfort vs. the symptoms of my conditions. The surgical discomfort is SO minimal! Yet, it is just enough to be a constant reminder to be extra vigilant.
