Whew what a week. Its hard to believe that Ive been home from the hospital for 7 days. Home all the time and still battling pain issues. Im going to be honest, this totally sucks. Last night I attempted to sleep laying down, and woke 2 hours later in great pain. I couldnt breath or talk. I was panting trying to get air. I managed to get sitting up, almost passing out in the process. Finally I was able to catch my breath. So once more, laying down isnt an option. Im stuck sitting 99% of the time in a recliner. It doesnt really seem to be getting any better. I meet with the doctor next week to get my stitches out. We will have another pain talk at that time. They said I just may have to deal with this for weeks due to damaging some nerves in surgery. There just isnt much more thay can do pain medicine wise. I just have to take it slow, and stay sitting most of the time. I get up and shower, and occasionally go to the kitchen etc, but the rest of the time Im sitting. My appetite hasnt improved either. Im still not able to eat much.
We h ave a few plans this weekend with family, but Im not sure Ill be able to attend. Car rides are also painful. I havent decided yet if Ill stay home or attempt to get out. We will just have to see. If you asked me right now, I dont feel up to it.
Elliot got to play with his cousins again today. He loved running around with them. After they come to play hes always a worn out little boy. He went right to bed! No fussing or anything! I was shocked. The poor guy still doesnt understand why momma doesnt get to cuddle with him. It breaks my heart when he walks up to me wanting picked up. Soon enough Ill get my cuddles again. For now Im just having to deal with it. Luckly hes gotten extra cuddles from his daddy, grandparents, and aunts. Plenty of people are willing to cuddle such a cute little man! :) Im truly blessed for such help.
