I woke up around 2 to pee and never went back to sleep. I tried but my brain wouldn’t shut off. It kept thinking of the next adventure in the book I am reading. I couldn’t bring myself to read it because I knew it would wake me up. I was in pain. I had taken some Tylenol then about three hours later I took my pain meds. I laid with the puppy after I had my coffee. It was and is really hot in my room. The AC is such a game changer. I wish I had the energy to do the little cleaning I need to do to set my AC up but there is no way I can move stuff, even if it is light.
I had two meals today so that was good. I have been trying to drink more water but it’s hot and I don’t like it when it’s hot. My urine smells and is cloudy so I need to try and drink more. I also haven’t had a bowel movement in a week. I am taking Miralax and senna. One of them should work soon. Also been taking magnesium. I feel really full and bloated. Any type of pressure I put on my belly to pass gas hurts. I don’t want to rip my stitches. Hopefully I will go tomorrow. But I don’t feel anything moving.
I wanted to wash up today but never did. Just to have a cool cloth on me. I hate the heat. It is driving me crazy. And I need to trim my mustache a bit as there is hair getting in my mouth when I eat. I want a haircut but I know I won’t be able to shave yet as it takes too much arm stretching.
I talked with my pcp’s nurse yesterday about the weight loss drug. I am at 195 lbs and I am happy about that. There is no higher dose so I am staying at this dose. The OR clipped my hair on my abdomen so it was nice and neat. It was all shaggy before. I am so hairy. I still don’t know why I am getting pain off the center of my belly button, like to the RLQ. I hope the surgeon calls on Monday so I can ask him if it is normal.
I haven’t decided if I am going to keep track of the ball game or not. I have lost interest because they keep losing. They won last night. I fell asleep before the game started. I was so tired last night. I am tired now but I am not sleepy. I want to read my book because it excites me. I am wicked hot though so I might go downstairs where the AC is. Sitting up is easier and doesn’t hurt as much as it did. It is just mainly when I move that I hurt. I haven’t had heartburn since surgery or reflux. I hope they stay away. I don’t plan on doing anything tomorrow except read my book.
