The tyranny of the blog comes back to bite me big-time! Everyone was worried because I didn't post yesterday--it seems I now have a reputation to uphold.
I felt just terrible yesterday. Exhausted, nauseous, gassy, punky, sore and cranky. I couldn't even drag myself from the couch back to bed without groaning like I was in labor. Bill was quite annoyed with me, worried and feeling helpless. There was no fever, so I have to figure it was just the cumulative stress of the surgeries, the overload of drugs, no regular exercise and a bad attitude, after I had just waxed poetic about keeping my emotions under control. Hello hubris.
The good news is that I did get a SHOWER for the first time since 11/2. It felt wonderful to have clean skin, get rid of the itchies and smell nice for a change! Bill changed my dressings and everything looks good and healing. I slept most of the day, and all through the night. I feel better, if not very energetic today. Clear liquids and bland diet should take me back to normal.
A rainy day here in TN--a curl up and watch movies day.

Pam, I'm glad you blogged today...I was ready to call out the National Guard when there was nothing posted yesterday. I have to admit, I'm somewhat relieved to hear that you had a negative attitude day, since I spent 15 minutes sobbing on my bed after a grueling PT session. I've felt like a real baby when I read your optimistic and cheerful post-double mastectomy blog and I'm crying because they bent my arm too far! So thanks...I feel a little better today. Plus I'm out of work until Jan. and I've stopped railing against it and am beginning to enjoy my sluglike existence. Love you, honey.
