Got out of the hospital today. Woot.
So, surgery was Tuesday. It went pretty well, or so I was told. I do have pictures (unfortunately they aren’t graphic!) but you will be able to see my implant which is pretty cool. It is also partly pink. Now, I am partially made of pink. This means I officially poop rainbows. Go me.
Wednesday was decent. Well, the morning was. I got out of bed and moved around, which went well. But toward the end of the night all hell broke loose. I had a severe cramp in my hip. And I mean s-e-v-e-r-e. I have never felt so much pain. I swore off chocolate and vodka if it meant that pain would go away. If that puts it into any understandable terms for you…
That night was also rough. They had somehow managed to get behind my pain medication schedule so catching up was really difficult. I was loaded up with drugs, so much so that I was groggy well into yesterday afternoon.
Thursday I got nothing done. I was in too much pain to do physical therapy, so it was just a day of trying to recover and get all of the drugs out of my system.
Today was a much better day. I (well, they) finally got back on my pain meds track, so I can move around much better. Don’t get me wrong, it still hurts, but it’s progress, and I can handle progress.
Now we’re at the in-laws’ house. It’s nice to have a place to relax that’s open and where I don’t have to worry about cats tripping me or jumping on my hip. I miss my babies, but I prefer them not smashed against the wall, which is what would happen if I got a surprise pounce on my left hip.
That’s about it. I’m watching Wife Swap and trying not to throw up because the one mom hasn’t shaved her pits in about 15 years. This is probably not beneficial for my recovery.
Oh, as a side note, some butt munch brought the measles to Omaha. Apparently the sicko was here the weekend of my birthday and dragged his/her sick badonkadonk around MY Hyvee. How lovely. Maybe my luck has changed, because I should no signs of measles.
*achoo*
Just kidding.
