On the Mend

Now that I am almost a week out of surgery I am ready to be doing my normal routine again! I do not like being on so many medications, I feel like there are a few days I just can't remember. People will say, "you sound better than you did yesterday." and I am thinking, "I talked to you yesterday??". I was in a fair amount of pain so the meds were necessary, it's just hard missing out on everyday life. On top of my regular medication I was really sick to my stomach, so my doctor prescribed an anti-nausea med which only made the drowsiness worse. I swear I can only remember about ten minutes of Sunday! I guess the anti-nausea medication works because it puts you to sleep and I am less likely to feel sick while I am sleeping! Knowing myself like I do, I will probably over-do things before I am ready to be doing them. I am simply done with being banished to my bedroom! There really aren't that many great shows on tv. It was fun to listen to Matt play kick ball with the little people in the kitchen of all places this morning! What is surprising is how easily the rest of the family is okay to live with dirt on the walls and cupboards, not sweeping each day, and baskets of laundry waiting to be folded. Had I known this a long time ago, I would have only done half of what I used to do! As long as they are having fun, oh, and their little tummies are full! Those are the most important things.
