Recovery Days.....

So I am now finishing my 3rd day out from surgery.  The gas pains are horrible in my left shoulder.  That hurts more than the actual incision sites.  I am not sure if I am starving or if its gas sounds and pain.  I know that this broth and poweraid and popsicles I am so over!

Today was an extremely tough day.  I was over emotional as it is setting in what my new lifestyle is going to be.  I have all of these foods in my house that I want to eat.  I actually was at one point resenting my husband for eating a bag of Doritos's  in front of me.  He was not just eating them to me, he was shoving them down his throat because they tasted so good.   All I could have was my broth :(  My husband and son went to the State Fair and I couldn't go.  I usually don't eat fair food but dang it sounds so good.  I did actually take a ROLO and suck the chocolate off it.  I don't necessary think that was cheating but ok it technically was.  How frustrated I feel. 

I was able to just take 1 Tylenol today and did ok.  I am trying not to take the pain meds prescribed.  I will probably take it tonight to help me sleep. 

I am also a full-time student and have course work due tonight.  I am not feeling up to doing it :(  I am also a nanny for 5 almost 6 year old triplets and a 14 yr old tennis champ.  I am not looking forward to going back to work on Monday. 

Only time will tell :)
