I finally have enough energy to do some things so I thought I'd get back to writing. Today was a pretty good day, but I didn't sleep well last night and ended up sleeping until 9 a.m. I finally gave in and laid in bed...it was good to lay down and be comfortable, but getting up isn't easy or painfree. I guess I didn't really realize how painful this experience was going to be physically, mentally or emotionally. I feel really bad because Jarad is working so hard to do everything, and he's exhausted. He fell asleep when he came home from work today so I let him sleep for about 4 hours. He put the recliner out in the yard for me so I could sit in the shade and read and nap. He's been great! I managed to walk 5 times today...I even went clear to the creek by the house to let the dogs swim. It was tiring, but I'm trying to push myself alittle more each day.
Other than the discomfort on my left side, none of the other incisions are bothering me, and the drain hole has even healed up. My arms and hands aren't as bruised and I've managed to get most of the adhesive off. I now have lots of pretty yellow and purple bruises on my abdomen. I'm sure eventually I'll be glad I had this done, but I wouldn't do it over as of today. Besides hurting, I'm missing so much with work, the horses, etc. I did hang out some of my "skinny" clothes as inspiration and I hope to start practicing showmanship by the weekend. My goal is to make it to Meg's graduation ceremony on Saturday in Clarion, but 45 minutes in a car does me in so...it gives me something to shoot for.
Thanks for all of the prayers and thoughts, and I love having comments to read! I plan to take my measurements and weight tomorrow.
