Lots of pain today
I woke up from a dream where I was kicking a guy in the nuts and I really woke up to me kicking. It hurt my abs. I took some Tylenol, thinking it would go away. But as I was finishing my lunch, I had a sneeze attack of like 7 or 8 sneezes and omg were they painful. The first one hurt really bad and I tried to tighten my muscles for the subsequent ones but didn’t matter. The pain was in my right lower quadrant where a stitch was. I hope I didn’t do anything but I am calling the surgeon when I get up tomorrow.
I was bored most of the day. I paid attention to the game, which we lost. I plan on reading my book until I feel sleepy or the pain gets to be too much. I ended up taking a pain med around 3 but it did squat. Pain is like a 8 or 9. I thought about going to the ED but I will wait to see the surgeon tomorrow. Sitting is bad and when I tried laying down, it didn’t help either. I am just feeling miserable.
I finally had a BM today. It wasn’t much but hopefully it continues to move. I have been taking miralax twice a day to get things moving. I have the pain med and the weight loss drug working against me. I was able to hold my weight at 195lbs this week. I was surprised it didn’t go lower because I hardly ate. I think between my bowels holding stool and being swollen from surgery it is adding some weight.
Other than therapy, I have nothing else going on this week. Next week I see my psychiatrist and will probably talk to my DMH worker unless I feel like traveling to Boston. I feel like it has been ages since I last saw my psychiatrist. I hate these two months appts. But he has proven to being useless when I am having a hard time.
I have been posting updates about Taylor’s wedding. I can’t believe it is this week. I can’t wait to see the photos. She is going to look stunning. I will play Love Story all day.
It is going to be hot all week so I am going to try and clear out my recycling this week so I can access my AC. My room is ridiculously hot for me. I have no idea how I have been tolerating but it has been driving me crazy. I want to be shirtless but I don’t want the steri-strips to rub against something and come off prematurely.
