Doing Better!!

Im gonna try and make this short. I am doing much better compared to the first week and hospital stay. I actually am still on pain medicine and cannot drive yet. It has been a month since the surgery and each day seems to get better. I still have bad days here and there but the good days out weight them. Let me tell you I am definitely glad to be home. We had a time in the hospital. I was in there for more days than they originally told me. I also had a few other issues come up that they being the doctors said would likely not happen. Bradley did a wonderful job of keeping everyone informed. He also has been amazing through all of this. He is the BEST supporter and has done a fantastic job of taking care of me. This sounds kinda cheesy, but I love him so much more and in a deeper way than before. There were definitely things that no husband should ever have to do that he did and he did them with a caring nurturing attitude. He truly is the BEST and I Love Him So Much for that!!!!!

I have learned a few things from all of this, the first being I don't like IV's (many things can happen with an IV and a lot of the time nurses tend not to believe the pt.) this is just my observation. Second thing is I worried way to much about the catheter....lol it's the next best thing to sliced bread, when you gotta go and you can't, you will do anything it takes for it to happen. Enough said about that one!!! Lastly but not finally, I can see where people get hooked on pain medicine. I definitely am not "hooked" but I don't know if it's in my head or what but it makes everything (Pain, aches, and spasms) feel a lot better. I could go on and on with things I have learned and likes/dislikes about all of this. Let me just tell you that after all of this, I am sure giving birth will be a piece of cake...who knows maybe I will even try to do it naturally!!!! LOL just kidding Epidural here I come!!!

Anyways, I am doing much better. I still walk pretty slow but atleast I don't need my walker anymore. LOL If school started tomorrow, I would definitely say I still need time to recoup but hopefully in the next month all will be much better and I will be getting back to normal. I get a little scared just thinking about all the stuff I have to do for this school year and my energy level now and right now they don't match up. I feel lazy with sitting in a chair and laying in bed a majority of the day but it is the only thing that makes my back feel better. Believe me I would much rather be out running the roads than sitting inside with aches and spasms. Maybe later for all the curious folks out there I will post a picture of the scar. It is pretty long much longer than the dr. Originally told Bradley and my family after the surgery. It actually looks good...it is not bloody or gross looking nor does it have any stitches on the outside. The stitches are inside and I was glued up on the outside so it looks pretty good. I just have to get over the long scar that will be with me for the rest of my life. Again thank you for all the prayers and concerns. God is Good and continues to heal me each day. He truly has been my Rock and the One I look to for comfort!!!! God is amazing and I am so thankful to be one of HIS!!!!
