…”this life is more than just a read through”

Surgery on Mon. went well, I think. Not really sure due to swelling, etc. I wont know for a few months how it really went until everything falls into place. I had a horrible night in the hospital on Monday night. Woken every two hours by the nurses and the woman in my room would not turn off the light over her bed - so it was super bright in the room. I am a side sleeper and wanted so badly to turn onto my side and couldn’t. I was released on Tues. and went to my mom’s for the night. Thinking that it would be more quiet and calm for me to get a good night sleep. No go. Uncomfortable there too. What is uncomfortable are the drains that are hanging out of my sides. I keep catching them with my hand and they feel like they are pulling out. I cannot wait to get them out. I have had literally no pain and have not taken any pain med since Tuesday night. Came home on Wed. morning and was sooooo happy to get into my own bed with my own pillows. Although it is awful to have to listen to my husband deal with the children and their bickering. He does not have anywhere near the patience that I have with them. And the children are in & out of the bedroom climbing on the bed and nearly missing bumping me. It is nice & quiet now that they have gone out. I slept much better in my own bed. I found that I can lay on my side in my bed since it is a tempurpedic and it molds to your body. I am going to go outside and walk a bit up & down the driveway, then come in and change my bandages.
