Six Days After Surgery

For the first time since surgery I'm starting to feel better!  At 1:00 this morning, I took my pills and noticed that it was not so hard to get out of bed!  I was very sleepy this morning, and let myself sleep in extra long, and now I'm up and still feeling better.  Of course it still hurts, but not as bad.  Coughing feels like my entire insides will come out though.  I think it was a good idea to stop trying to heal up so fast, and just relax and rest yesterday.  The nurses kept stressing that I should walk more and more each day, but I think I needed to listen to my own body and rest more.

I am so happy to hear that the pain is decreasing and you are starting to feel better. I remember how it felt when when I coughed... ekkkkkk
Thanks for the update, I think of you often.
