Good and Bad

Things I've loved during recovery.

Movies. Lots and lots of movies. I never get to watch movies because it costs about a hundy to go out to a movie or if we rent, I usually fall asleep.

Sleep. I fall asleep whenever I want. On the couch. In my cozy chair of recovery. It's bliss.

Drugs. Need I say more?

Gifts. Shit yeah - I've had some great deliveries (edible arrangements, fruit basket from work, flowers, meals made by friends, cupcakes!).

Playing the "I need to rest card."

Not working.

Things that haven't been so grand:

No less than 4 drainage tubes left in me post-op. And the stuff that drained from them. And the removal of them.

Hiccups.

Laughing. (great for the soul, not so great for healing abdominal muskles).

Colace and ExLax.

Empty DVR (but that'll soon be fixed, it's season premier time)

Getting used to not working.
