I overdid it yesterday. Den was cleaning, I was mostly supervising… getting him things when he needed them. But, I was standing. And apparently standing is not good for any length of time. I’d sit down, stand up, sit down… I felt guilty with him doing all the work – he was cleaning with a feverish determination to get the crap out of our kitchen and actually be able to see the corner.<\/p>\n
By the time we headed to the grocery store to get some food for dinner I was not well. I can’t even tell you what it felt like… it wasn’t a piercing pain from the incision site, but more of a general abdominal feeling. Possibly from gas or who knows what. But it made it hard to breathe, and standing wasn’t fun. So we hurried out of there and I went home to lay down for several hours, which felt a lot better.<\/p>\n
It’s a lot easier to sleep now. My incisions are itchy, but not so tender and sore. I have been sleeping with a pillow between my legs, pressed up against my stomach. It just feels better to have something gently but firmly pressing against it than to be bumping the mattress here and there.<\/p>\n
This morning I took off the bandaids and the lower incisions look great… healing up very nicely, they actually look more healed than I expected them to. My navel, however… not so good. It has a reddish lump under\/beside the incision, it’s very firm and unyeilding to the touch. I do not recall anything like this from my previous lap. Lovely. Guess I’ll be putting a call in to the doctor’s office, and possibly driving in there again. I could be wrong, right?<\/p>\n
I am going in to work today, but just the job where I get to sit at a desk and play with kitties. Last week I lined up someone to take over the heavier duties because I was pregnant, so I don’t have to worry about that at least. And even though I probably won’t be pregnant again very shortly, I think I’m just going to give up that stuff permanently from now on. I am assuming at some point I WILL be pregnant again and have to hand it over permanently. Besides, I have enough stuff to do.<\/p>\n
My body is a mess. I’m bloated and gassy, I’m sore, I’m tired, my face is greasy and breaking out, my hair is limp and irritating… it’s just a mess. It’s very irritating having all those pregnancy hormones hit my body, having the intial adjustment craziness, and then it all crashes and I go through it all in reverse. Ugh.<\/p>\n
Off to my therapy appointment today. Boy do I have an update for her (it’s been a month).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
