Jan. 8th, 2015 11:52 pmThanks to everyone for all the kind comments. I'm not doing well at responding because everything feels kinda disjointed for me right now, but I appreciate everything. Emails and texts are great too. And my mom-out-law sent the Wonder Woman book, so that's been a lot of fun.
It was a hard day today. I was expecting to see rushthatspeaks, but they have a cold and I didn't hear about that until later in the evening. Frustrating that I can't go outside alone! I suspect I will simply ignore that tomorrow, as it's been plenty long enough for me not to have a random fainting spell.
Also, I verified today that my light-headedness is just the Percocet -- I went off it entirely for twelve hours, and yes, the swimmy gross feeling went away. I was able to take a shower safely, which felt great, but also I exhausted myself dealing with the remaining pain, which didn't feel great at all. Crying and feeling like a terrible person for not managing my meds right or properly figuring out people to help me was not a good time. So, back to the swimmy gross feeling for now.
Although there's considerable pain remaining on the left side (ovary mad again?), things are really healing very well. The incisions are feeling much better, and I might take off the bandages soon. I haven't had any bleeding at all today, and a couple of scabs actually came off already. I could do without the subtle interior itching, of course.
Back to sleeping at weird times and being out of it, at least while the meds last. They won't for much longer, whether that's a good thing or a bad one...
