Post-Op Surprises!!
Jan 04, 2009
Well, it's been six days since surgery. I'm doing good but not as good as I planned! I thought I'd write about a few post-op surprises I have encountered so far!1.) I have this aching pain on my left side. I really cannot even describe the pain. If I push in on it when standing/walking, it definitely helps but as soon as I let go it is a ton of pain. Strange...it almost feels like something is in there, like a pressure feeling too. It has gotten better since yesterday so I'm sure soon enough I'll forget I even had the pain!
2.) I thought by six days post-op I would be up shopping and cleaning and etc. NOPE....not even a chance! It took me like 2 hours to recover from a shower today and that was only showering, not getting ready doing my hair or putting makeup on!!!
3.) I thought my family would be a bit more supportive. Well, my immediate family at least. My mom has been wonderful, she took last week off of work and helped me a TON! My husband, not so much. In fact, he's really been a jerk. I think he has some jealousy issues because he keeps talking about me "failing" but I didn't expect he wouldn't help me out as much as he hasn't.
Speaking of that, I'm not supposed to drive for two weeks...well, the kids go back to school tomorrow so it looks like I'll be driving. My hubby won't ask his mom (and she hasn't offered) to help me out. It's not really a big deal, it's about a 10 mile round trip trip so I'll manage just fine. Tuesday, on the other hand, I have to go for my follow-up and he won't ask his mom to drive me either. Why can't I ask her you ask? I just hate to inconvenience anyone and especially being she has only called me twice since surgery and both conversations were 30 seconds or less (yes, I'm serious). She knows I can't drive and she didn't offer. Oh well, I guess I'm having a bit of a pity party. Trust me, I have NO regrets about the surgery...just wish I could pick a better hubby!!! LOL!!!
