Man, are people opinionated!

Mar 13, 2011

 Thankfully, for me, dealing with other people's opinions has mostly been an amusing process. I haven't received anything negative (which might mostly be because my husband shelters me from his best friend whom I loath...the guy almost ruined our wedding..). The vast majority of the comments are really warm and welll meaning but a bit over-bearing. 

Yesterday I had to go back to the ER at the hospital because I was vomiting uncontrollably and couldn't hold water or my pain meds down. It turns out it was probably one of the stool softener gel caps that the hospital sent me home with that got stuck. Some how it passed while I was at the hospital and I feel great now! However, most of my friends on Facebook have taken this to mean that I am now incredibly fragile. I admit, I had a bit of a bad moment but as early as last night when I got home I felt a MILLION times better. Of course, I got quite a bit of chastisement for not calling my doctor as soon as I started throwing up. I do admit that I should have been quicker on that and shouldn't have tried to wait it out.

Today, still feeling amazing, i went out shopping with my husband. Pretty much all the people that had surgery the same day as me are up and about and some are even going to the gym already. I am not one to be left behind. We went to Costco, then the supermarket, then the pet store. I admit I might have over did it but I was only a bit sore and out of breath...not bent over in pain. I made a joking post about it on Facebook and almost immediately got a bunch of responses from friends and family about how I was trying to kill myself. Please people! I walked a little too far today....I didn't go to an amusement park!

This is a long journey and I'm going to have to push my limits in order to find out what those limits ARE! It's nice to have so many people that care about me but I need a bit of freedom to figure myself out as well. One of these days I'm going to wake up and feel normal again...but until then i'm never going to find that day if I hide in bed.
