Complaints

I called the surgeon and left a message yesterday.

I'm waiting for her to return my call... hopefully today and hopefully soon.

This is getting way out of control, in my opinion... She told me the recovery would be 3-7 days depending on my body. Well, it is now officially 8 days since surgery and I still feel like crap. I look like I've been run over... I have bruises everywhere. The swelling STILL has not gone away. And the pain is horrible... and is more often a problem than not. I can't lay down- it hurts. I can't sit up- it hurts. I can't stand- it hurts.

I thought I'd be off of the pain medicines by day 3 or 4. Wrong. I am STILL taking them... religiously! I need 2 pills at night to help me sleep, and I still take it in the daytime to ease the pain.

I'm sorry to be so complainy. But seriously. I can't believe this.

Not only do I not feel well, but I can't do anything... physically. I can't drive, so I'm stuck at home (unless my mom takes me to her house or the day my dad took me grocery shopping). I can't clean- so the house is a mess. I can't cook- so either Mom's been cooking for us or we eat frozen meals that Jeff can make (bless his heart). I can't work in the yard- our garden is overgrown. I can't do laundry- since I can't carry it up and down stairs.

Hmph.

Again, I'm sorry... I just needed to vent. Besides- I'm a real person. I'm not going to smile and pretend everything is okay. Just as I don't expect you to either!

Please pray for me... that's what I need right now.


(I took some pictures of all the bruising... but Jeff prefers I don't post them. Sorry to disappoint...ha ha ha.)
