Columbus Day taking stock
Oct. 13th, 2008 10:48 amsoo two weeks out from surgery, lets see how we are doing.
Voice is still raspy, breathing still a little fucked up, muscular wise things are still pulling in funny directions. It helps if I remember to not slouch, which is easier said than done when all of your obliques are screaming. Gonna start being seriously mindful about my posture from here on in, as it does help, even though things are a bit sore.
Eating is more or less back to normal. I had a serious appetite spike last night and just... ate stuff. At least I tried to make sure it was at least full of the dead thing proteiny goodness, and there is an entire jar of leftover chicken sauce that I made yesterday that I'm looking forward to feasting on today. Om nom.
Energy level... fluctuates. Not quite back to normal there. Healing up is srs bzns lol. I do fine if I get in a small nap mid-afternoon and a full night's sleep (with periodic bathroom breaks). But you know. I'm up and about.
I'm telecommuting in earnest today. I've been working on and off when I have a few minutes all weekend, but today is when I sat down, logged in and started craaaaaaaaanking out work. I must say, I've missed it.
Scar = itchy. And it's definitely time to take at least the string sutures out, as they're starting to kinda stretch through my skin a bit, ew. One more day, and then I see Holly and then I get to bitch about itchy scar and stuff.
end is in sight for antibiotics finally - I think I'll be out of them by the end of the week. Thank the gods.
Overall, not doing all that badly. I am more or less pleased with my progress.
Off to take a break from computery stuff. There probably will be sappy happy birthday sunny post later, be warned. ;)
