I've been on the mend for the past week. At this point, I have not been out of the apartment since I returned home from surgery.
I have full blown cabin fever. We so have to go out SOMEWHERE today.
I took myself off of the pain med after a few days. It turned out to be the same stuff as Vicodin and I just don't like how I feel when I am on it. After a couple days the bulk of the pain was gone anyway; I no longer felt like I had been punched in the gut.
Now I just have a lot of soreness and tenderness. I can bend over now, but with a little pain. Crawling on the floor under my desk to plug my USB hub back in after my daughter has knocked it out is Not A Good Idea. Damnit, that hurt!
I will be so very happy when I can sleep on my stomach again! I'm sooooo tired of this sleeping on my side and back crap.
I am very surprised that the kitten is patient with Audrey. When I was 4, if I kept picking up a kitten and taking it back to where I wanted it after it left, I would have gotten myself scratched for my trouble. Monkey... Tolerates it. He just hangs there in her arms, and lets her put him back where she wants him. I feel so sorry for him sometimes, that I have to rescue him and hide him somewhere...

Thanks so much for visiting my blog!!! Monkey is a beautiful cat! How old is he? Mine is 9 months and likes to sleep on me in the morning when I'm trying to work. She sprawls on my lap, lays her head on the keyboard and sleeps....I rarely get anything done in the morning anymore..lol

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. It's good hearing from someone going through the same thing. I feel pretty well, there is still some discomfort, but I try to stay away from the pain pills. They make me all tired and dizzy. I try to keep myself busy at the computer, but I'm not missing all the hard work involved with taking care of the family. It's nice letting the husband pamper me. I actually plan to go back to work next week, but since it's a desk job, I see no concerns ahead. Thanks so much for your words and good luck to you also on your recovery. Maybe once we get better we'll never go through something like this again. I'm looking forward to being pain free.
