Oof

Today was the worst yet. I think Wednesday went okay because I was so happy to have made it through surgery and I was on great drugs. Thursday was good because I came home. Today was just rough. I almost fainted emptying my drains this morning. That's how the day started. I was queasy most of the day but as soon as I started drinking more fluids I seemed to feel better.

Pain is considerable. I read on my discharge papers that it's normal to have more swelling a few days after so I think I'm at that point where my body is over the initial shock and working hard to heal.

I'm hoping to turn a corner tomorrow. My husband has been taking great care of me but I think it's freaking him out to see me so incapacitated. He's stressed out, I can tell. Later in the day he commented that I had color back in my face. I guess he was quietly watching and worrying when I wasn't looking so great in the morning.

I think today was the closest I've felt to second guessing having this done. I know this will pass and I'll be happy I did it. Today wasca challenge though. I hope I sleep well and tomorrow is a better day.
