Day 5

It' s been 5 days since the surgery and it hasn' t really gotten any easier. I struggle to get in and out of bed due to the strain you put on your neck when lifting your head up. My throat continues to get better but I still have a hard time swallowing even if it is only my saliva. My husband tries really hard to help me with all he can but there isn' t much he can do when it comes to helping me get out of bed and get up from the chairs. I'm a little heart broken because I want this done and over with. I' m going to miss all our Christmas traditions. I didn't put a tree up this year because i was afraid it might have bugs, we didn' t have time to put up our lights, and of course not enough time to do all our Christmas shopping. It' s going to be a sad Christmas this year. I know the kids understand but they shouldn't have to because this is not an illness. I' m hoping by this time next year all of this is in the past and we can once again enjoy Christmas with the Posada and everything.
