I’m doing decently tonight. I watched TV all day and night. It really distracted me. I took a pain med about 4.5 hours ago. I took one of the stronger ones and it did work better this time and I was in less pain then I’ve been in all day. I can take another one in about 2.5 hours but I’ll take a less intense one. I fell asleep for a couple hours. Now I’m up and I’m not in too much pain. But I haven’t really sat up for a few hours. For dinner I had chicken broth, 2 saltine crackers, and a package of Lorna Dune cookies. I’m not on any restrictions besides soda but I just feel better overall when I eat stuff like that. My mom did get to Starbucks for a couple drinks for me.. I’m very constipated and I’m trying a lot of different things to help. I can’t really strain though.

I guess I’m just frustrated and bored with recovery. But not depressed or anxious. I’ve read that some ftm regret the surgery almost immediately. I don’t regret it though and I am happy I got it done.

I haven’t been too needy with my mom. In fact she’s the one who will come and check on me and ask if I need anything and I’ll most of the time say no. I’ve basically just asked her to open a can of food for me, not even put it in a bowl, or to heat up some broth. Nothing major. She did go to to the library because I had put a book on hold for her that she wanted and I had a couple on hold myself.

I feel like I’ll be ok by the end of the week but i probably shouldn’t push it until after I see my doctor.

I just stood up for the first time since 6 to use the bathroom and I wasn’t in much pain. I guess the stronger stuff works at night and the narco works better during the day for some reason.
