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.
We were writing to each other at the exact same time! I just sent you your encouragement for today.
Oh yeah I forgot about the coughing....a pillow really helps!!!
That might be the first thing you mention BEFORE I start feelling better! :)
hahaha I forgot about that part!
