Yes, there is one drawback to painkiller medicine...if it doesn't hurt, one has a tendancy to overdo it, (because it doesn't hurt). Today I pushed it a bit too far, and believe me, by my own standards, I felt like a slug...but the little bit of things I tried to do have left me feeling sore. So, I have to behave myself and get back to the chair and stay put for a few more days...aarrgghh!
Thankfully, I can do creative things on my computer, so that takes some of the boredom out of just sitting around.
Yesterday, Ben and Amanda were here to visit, and brought me some very pink flowers...quite striking! They are here in the den, where they keep me company as I write this.
This morning, Edith (Gary's Mom) stopped by. She brought the most beautiful plant--the leaves are a light pink with heather green, and a Willow Tree angel figurine called, "Healing Angel". We had such a fun visit! We ended-up in the den with the computer. I showed her my scrap book program. She is a creative type like myself, so she was fascinated with it, too.
Suz and Kim stopped to bring me some frozen "homemade" meals for later when the other meals stop coming, and fresh fruit! Mostly, I just enjoy the sweet company!
Then Heather and Richard and Macey came with tonight's dinner...Heather, that was awesome...beef and broccoli with rice...yum! Again, the visit was fun!
Later, Casie came to stay for a while, and that was nice, (even though I fell asleep on the couch while she and Gary watched NASCAR races)...it's my favorite sedative...(oh, look, theyr'e making a left turn...and another left turn and another left turn...I find it mind-numbing). For Gary, it holds another thrill altogether, [he just lives for the crashes] and I'm glad he enjoys it, as long as I am not required to stay awake! I find the drone of the motors to be a strong narcotic...snore...zzzzzz.
Casie just enjoys any kind of sport, and so they were cheering for their favorite drivers to win. All of this was lost on me, as I was deeply unconscious during the majority of the time. LOL!
So, goodnight dear friends, I am now going to take my dose of pain meds and go to sleep, and hopefully, I will feel up to going to church, even if just for the first hour. We shall see....I have to keep reminding myself that I just had major surgery...Casie certainly does!
Til next time,
Love You All,
Mary
