On my 4th week- post operation

Three weeks ago today I was operated on, I really have gotten along good. Sure I have the occasional ping and ting in my lower stomach but that is to be expected. I can not bend or pick up anything (including my 3 yr. old grandson ,,,,,sob)

I can not dry off my legs after I shower. I can not be on my feet much, I can not wash dishes or sweep the floor or pull on my sheets. Again I am getting along good.

I am thankful that I have so much stuff to keep me occupied, I am glad I enjoy video games I love to read I love to paint and put togeather puzzles, I love to cross stitch and do plastic canvas.

I MISS TAKING A TUB BATH

I shower and I get clean and refreshed, but I love taking a skin so soft bath. I love just laying back in my garden tub with the tub full of water and maybe having a sweet smelling tub of bubbles up to my neck with a candles flickering on the counter.

That is so relaxing and I can not do that for at least another week and possible longer than that. I miss the little things. I miss getting dressed and taking baby to the park and playing with him in the sand. I miss cleaning my living room and enjoying it being clean. Dh is sweet and he does the best he can but of course it is not a woman touch.

OH well enough complaining. I am very fortunate. A lot of women are still in bed with minamal time allowed to get up. But I only took a nap or two when I came home for maybe 3 days and then I stopped with the pain pills except at night and now I am just taking one motrin before I go to bed. I am very blessed to be getting along so good.

I give my God all praise and I thank Him for His hand on me that I am getting well so fast.
