So Far (I don’t know, the kids say that all the time)
So this is my list of things I’ve learned since surgery last Friday (hey, the kids went to my in-law’s, and this is all I’ve got - pain-killer induced posts - like it or leave, I’m good.)
- Pain killers are awesome - especially Percot. Although the side effects, not so good.
- Answering emails and the phone while on percot should not be allowed. I tend to tell my family (well my sister), EXACTLY, how I feel about certain subjects… What? you mean calling her a tight-ass and to just get cable already isn’t a good thing?
- It is possible to sleep more hours during a day, than be awake.
- I think I had the best nurses ever (although Mr. I says the one at his hospital are hotter) - even when they made me get out of bed and walk, they were nice.
- Ice is good during the day, heat is great for night time.
- Having four little incisions is better than one big one.
- I need to allow myself to realize how big this was, I haven’t really let the reality of the surgery hit me. I know exactly what happened. I did my research, I asked my questions, of both my family doctor and the specialist. But I feel different. it’s hard to explain, maybe because I’m not sure yet. I know in my head and heart this was the best option for me, I know for my family this was the best option, it’s just not quite settled in yet.
I really hope I go back to the way I was. I used to be fun, smiley, and happy. I miss that girl, and I think Mr. Incredible misses that girl too.

Kick back and enjoy the percocet buzz. Moms like to think that they are capable of jumping out of bed just to do ‘one little thing’. Don’t kid yourself! Stay in bed!

Emotionally it would take me a while to let it ’soak in’ as well.

Sounds like the pills are making you happy. The fun part will have to come later.

Ew! anything in the “perco” family makes me yakk like crazy! Still, beats hurting if you can keep it down!
