Skin Removal

[acutiepatootie]

When I decided to have this skin removal surgery I didn't expect it to have such a hold on me. I have to have a lot of help from Rich and Aggi. I can't bend over, which sucks! I need help when going to the restroom, help pulling up my pants, draining blood from bottle out of tubes attached to me, and other things. I hate being dependent on others, as it took me a long time to gain some independence.

I've been in pain so much this week that I just thought I was going to die. I don't like taking pain pills because I don't to be dependent on them, but Rich says if I'm in pain I should take a pain pill. We shall see.
