I kept trying to wake up this morning and then falling right back asleep. I finally got up at 7:30. Last night I fell asleep around midnight. I still get completely wiped out just making the 10 steps to the bathroom. It’s getting frustrating. I wish I could go for a ride or something but I don’t want to push myself. My pain was kinda bad when I woke up and it was 6.5 hours after my last pain med. so I took a narco. I feel better pain wise as long as I don’t move around too much but my anxiety is a bit tough today. I don’t want to take weeks to recover and be a burden on my family.

But this is one of the reasons people get into post op depression. They feel like their recovery is taking too long and they feel needy on their family.

My doctors office just called to see how I am doing. I told them about the constipation. She’s gonna talk to the doctor and get back to me. Hopefully I can get some relief today from this.

I haven’t even been watching TV really today. For the past hour I’ve been lying on my back in bed. I think I may have fallen asleep for a few minutes. My mom and brother are out shopping and I’ve just been in bed the whole time. My stomach keeps making funny noises and I’m in a bit of pain, but I don’t feel too bad overall right now. My mom says I should be able to go for a ride by the end of this week and that therapy next Monday should be ok.
