Bless Your Heart

Living out loud in the Carolinas

My recovery has been going pretty well. The first few days were really rough in that they weren’t so bad so I moved around too much and then paid dearly later with a seriously sore tummy. The Tuesday after I got home (on Sunday) my Mom and Sara and the boys came over for a visit. My Mom brought me a walker! Like an old lady walker. So funny. But surprisingly useful. Especially when getting out of bed.
I tell ya, just laying around is hard work. I kept forgetting and bending or getting up too fast. Jon went back to work on Saturday and he was so worried. Bless his heart he called like every 2 hours. Saturday night was rough. I ran a fever and threw up which made Sunday even worse. Jon had to work again so he called his parents to come be with me and bring me dinner. It was really sweet for them to come but I think they were here more for Jon than me.
I received a fabulous care package in the mail from Miss Christina. Care package from Christina It included a mini day at the beach. Mini day at the beach It was so sweet and really brightened my day!
CSP’s been so good taking care of me. Checking my wounds and taking my temp. And the pugs have LOVED all the napping. I’m tearing through my library books and Netflix movies. Good thing for Netflix cause my dvr is on the fritz and we’re waiting for a new one to come in. What bad timing! So hopefully this will be my last hysterectomy focused post. There are certainly more exciting things to talk about!
