10 days post op

May 23, 2013

I am FREEZING!  I guess this is a normal side effect from Genera Anesthetic.  I have a heating pad at the foot of my bed to keep my feet warm, with socks, and a 100lb yellow lab on them!  I tend to get tired easily still.  I have no pain at all.  I get the hiccups when I eat too fast or too much.  I have vomited a couple times from the hiccups, but nothing serious.  

Emotionally I feel depressed.  Mainly because my bff flew back to NC on Sunday and I'm by myself.  I have a very short fuse and am impatient with myself.  I think because I have such a high tolerance for pain, that I feel like I should be doing more, until I try something and feel the "pull" in my abdomen, a gentle reminder to drop everything and walk on!  It is hard being 4 hrs from my family.  I had tried to figure out how I could go see them for the holiday weekend, but that isn't going to happen.  It is too much for me to do 10 days post op...another reminder that I'm to take it easy.  Just a bit homesick I guess....
