Back to work tomorrow

Jun 25, 2013

Actually feeling a little better today! Pain seems to have moved a bit, now more centralized under the large incision, but it's a different kind of pain. More of a constant ache instead of the sharp stab. Coughing, etc. does not hurt as much. I think it helped that I got 5 hours of deep sleep this morning on the recliner. Previously I'd only been getting 3-4 hours in a night before the pain meds ware off.

I'm hoping that work will not be too stressful tomorrow, but I feel like I'm about to jump into a fire pit.  I'm going to try very hard to put myself first and say no when I've had too much. this recovery is too important to risk pushing beyond my limits.

I've lost over 18 lbs so far since my first consultation - can't complain about that!
