4 Days Out...

I am 4 days post-opt and I must say each day does get a little better. I am sore, kind of like I have been in a bad car wreck or something. I feel very dependent on other people and I don't like that. I like to be in control, but for now I am not. I can't even wipe my own ass! I know it's gross, but I can not. So as humiliating as it sounds my husband has had to wipe my ass. I tried using a long wooden spoon and then wrapping wet one's around it, but that doesn't get you entirely clean. So Mike being the greatest guy on earth, is more than willing to wipe my fat ass. I love him. He has been very good to me during this.

I hear the soreness that I am feeling now, lasts about two weeks, so hopefully by my two week check up on March 4, I am feeling much better. I did just have major surgery, so maybe my expectations were a little high.

The hardest thing so far, is consuming 64 oz. of fluid a day. It's hard, but I do my best. Also I can't sleep on my side or stomach, it hurts too much. That sucks for me cuz I am not a back sleeper, but I am adjusting.
