first night in my own bed

Apr 25, 2010

ooooo it's so good to be home and in bed. screw sleeping in a recliner. i don't care if i need help getting out of bed, you aren't going to catch me in one of those for a while. i've been sleeping in a chair for the past 5 days. i have my pups and my girlfriend all tucked in around me and i'm happy. i am still hurting a lot. but slowly figuring out how to deal with it. it mostly seems to be gas and bloating. and walking does help. i haven't been able to eat even a third of what they told me to. it hurts too bad to fit it in there. they were saying to eat 8 ounces over a 1 hour period 3 times a day, with two 4 ounce snacks over a 30 minute period inbetween. and when i'm not eating, i need to be drinking. ok well that is impossible. i had 3 ounces of broth for breakfast and 4 ounces of cream of chicken for dinner. i had a popsicle as a snack. and that's it besides some water. i just can't fit it in there. i guess because it is healing. 4 ounces over 30 minutes is almost unbearable. i was craving something cold today though like yogurt. but all the yogurt i can find has 8 grams of sugar in it and the surgeon said to keep it under 5 grams per serving. why isn't sugar free stuff, actually sugar free? stupid. anyway.. i'm going to read and if i am lucky, fall asleep.
