day 16

It's been over two weeks since I had my fibroids removed. Blech. That word is so weird and disgusting. It sounds like an alien, robot, muscle mass. I still have:

* very slight trouble getting in an out of bed
* wake up in almost EXTREME pain as my muscles are sore each morning
* haven't have much of an appetite even though I should be pigging out
* still bleeding
* my skin around my bikini line feels super sensitive
* groin chicken bones feel like I've been kicked
* totally winded sometimes, struggle to maintain my breath
* sometimes I'm sweating in my sleep, probably due to discomfort

The positive points include:

* I can drive now!
* I can move most of my body without feeling pain
* as the day goes on, my muscles become warmed up
* I can lie on my side and not just on my back
* I'm starting to have regular poops!

I know there are more positive points, its just hard to remember them all. I'm also trying to pray regularly and be reminded that people suffer every day with pain and have no refuge. At least mine is expected to end some day. I truly desire solace in the Lord and know that He will watch after me no matter what. I KNOW this, it comforts me and brings me extreme peace as I know that there is an end in sight for my post-surgery pain.

I still don't know if I will be able to go to Disneyland with Emily, but the other days she is here I will be fine for the activities.
