I am still struggling with pain. Usually I try to be off of pain meds by now but I just can't get there quite yet. That is a little frustrating to me as well as finding that I am not coming out of this as quickly as I thought I might. So each day is an exercise in patience knowing that I will get there but just not on my timetable. I have five incisions, four of them on my abdomen but they are all small--maybe around an inch each--which makes it seem like this should be a little easier recovery. The odd thing is that often the pain is in my lower abdomen and not on one of the incisions. Perhaps they did a little tugging around or something that is bothering me.
I am still taking short naps in the morning so I must still need a little extra. Nausea has continued to be a problem as well, but I have medication for that when it starts to bother me more.
Last night I was treated to a bunch of "heart" cards from Unity students expressing their concern and offering words of comfort and prayer. I have been so blessed by so many people that it is overwhelming to think about! What an encouragement it continues to be to know that people continue to care!
