Day 2 & 3: Keeping things honest

The following was written over a two day span...However, I was just to tried, frustrated, and any other adjective to describe the situation.

After feeling reasonably good on Tuesday, the day of my surgery, I was expecting the same ability on Day 2. Boy, was I seriously mistaken. Perhaps it was my optimistic thinking that set me up for huge disappointment. As I attempted to sleep, Tues night, I soon realized no matter what I did, how many pillows I tried to fluff there was no comfort to be found. Not one for taking pain medicine, I thought I'd just rough it out.

Perhaps, it was the lack of sleep, or overworking myself the 1st day, but whatever to case was, Wednesday, I was upset, agitated, angry, and just plain mean.

I'd read all about the pain of recovery. But for some reason, I thought I was exempt. It's funny...sometimes the truth has a way of catching up with you, and making you face reality. I tried not to sulk around, and feel bad about my situation, but every time, I lifted 8oz. of broth to drink my attitude became worse.

It took a lot for me to write this down..I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me, or discouraged from having this similar surgery..But like I said earlier, you have to accept reality. The truth is, I am uncomfortable, and probably not a very pleasant person to be around right now...But I know this is just temporary...As the Bible says, "THIS TOO SHALL PASS"
