I went to bed around 10pm last night and I took two pain medications thinking it would get me through the night. Unfortunately, I woke up at 4am in a lot of pain and had to take another one. After that one and a heat pad on my belly I was able to fall asleep until I woke up around 9am. I had some coffee with a little bit of half and half then a piece of toast with preservatives for breakfast. I was thinking I would try not to take any of the prescription pain medications today so I just took 600mg of Ibuprofen. Finally, it was time for my shower. I was so glad that I was able to get in the shower and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting.
I got comfortable on the couch after my shower and then my boyfriend had to leave for his business trip. I was very sad when he left and upset that I would have to finish recovering all week without him. I'm lucky that my Mother and Father are still around to help me out. All I did this afternoon was watch some movies and nap. I was ultimately able to do a lot more today than I have since the surgery so that's a good sign. I still have two more days off before I have to go to work, so hopefully I will be ready.
For dinner my Mother made broccoli and grilled chicken. It was pretty good but a bit bland because she didn't want to use butter or anything which would upset my stomach. I'm getting very restless around the house because there are things I wish I could do but just can't. There's also my frustration with not being in control of anything that is going on....like the dishes or the laundry. I just have to sit back and let others help me until I'm feeling better. It's just hard for me to do. Alright, that's all for this day.
