update
Its been a week since surgery and while life is nowhere near normal I did venture into the backyard yesterday for the first time in 6 days. While I have not been without computer access, since Saturday I have been limited to the Blackberry when the laptop power cord began smoking.
The leg hurts, but nausea has been my biggest enemy. I miss sleeping next to Ari, and I REALLY miss Princess right now. This would have been a lot easier with her near by. Its been a month and the wound is still very raw.
In order to get my tummy on the up and up I've stopped using most of my meds. The only day the pain was crying bad was friday night when all the heavy drugs finally wore off. I have been too distracted by pain to do much reading though which is a shame. My brace rubs up against all of my stitches which is irritating, and the brace doesn't fit quite right. It "slips" now and again. I have skinny legs.
Thanks to Ari and Chuck for taking care of me and to all my visitors! I love you guys! It has really helped.
