I can't believe I forgot to post all I wrote yesterday when I got home. Well, the update now is just that I'm your typical person recovering from an operation. I get cold and worn out very quickly. Haven't experienced any hot flashes as yet. Maybe that's the times I don't feel cold. I'm supposedly going directly into menopause, now, with no segue. (Not that I want one of those two wheeled little scooter things, they look stupid.) My voice deserts me every now and then, and I wonder if that means it's changing...?
I've done a lot of reading and sleeping and not much else. Eor's been doing everything, and has a roast and au gratin potatoes in the oven for us right now. ( TMI about bodily functions )
I was able to nap, today. Yesterday I suppose I should have tried, but I was afraid of the lying down part, and when Eor got home he got after me about having not slept (I was exhausted) so I attempted to lie down on the couch and the pain seized up my diaphragm so I was just flopping like a fish, unable to breath, until he pulled me to my feet. And then I stood there clinging to him and shivering until I caught my breath again. I guess it was all in how I tried to lower myself - I need to sit, then lift my feet and lever myself down to lie on my side. I can't just turn and use my abdominal muscles to let me down as from doing situps.
And yeah, so that's the exciting life of an invalid. I've also finally created myself a Photobucket account and am trying to learn how to post pics.
