OK ! UNCLE! I GIVE IN! SO I have to relent and take it at an even slower pace! I am lying on my back in bed as I type this....slow going. I have been moving around too much and have pulled on my draintube enough to cause it to be very irritated at the point where it exits my skin. My friend, Vicki, who is a nurse, came over last night to do some doctoring on it. It felt much better by morning, and it does fairly well as long as I remain still. What a drag! I am not a very patient patient!
I slept fairly well last night, and then continued to sleep until 11:00 this morning...and then a bit later on I took a three hour nap! (I guess I must have needed it)
There are so many MORE things I would rather be doing than lying around. I just hate it when I have time off work, and I'm not well enough to actually enjoy it! Yes, I realize I am whining.
On the brighter side, my surgery scar is healing quite well. I will be seeing my doctor tomorrow and will hopefully find out all the other details of the pathology report, etc. I do not have my hopes up about getting this drain tube out yet, because I am still "leaking" quite a bit, and so it is better to leave it in when that is the case. Healing is so much better when that stuff can get out quicker.
In the meanwhile, I will have to just lay here and watch some movies, and read my book, etc. If any of you have a mind to come visit me to keep me from going stark, raving MAD, please do. I always love to visit, and talking doesn't hurt me any! Please don't ever think you are bugging me.
The ladies at church have been faithfully bringing meals in each day since surgery, so I don't have to cook--(neither does Gary, thank goodness!) just kidding, Gare. LOL!
Well, tomorrow I shall have more to report. Until then, enjoy the beautiful weather out there!
Love you All!
Mary
