Yup. Still in the hospital. I am recovering from what turned out to be a major surgery last Saturday. I'm going to be fine, but they aren't even going to let me go home until "after the weekend" and then I'll end up spending probably about two weeks at home before I can return to work.
So, well, things basically suck right now. Every day is s struggle, but I'm also able to do more and more things for myself every day. My big triumph yesterday was moving from a reclining position in bed to sitting up on the side of the bed all by myself. THIS WAS COMPLETELY COOL, GUYS. I mean, you don't realize how huge a deal that is until you can't do it. I was completely independent and healthy before this and I have learned being an invalid blows.
It's day by day, though. One of my doctors (I have, like, 6 for some reason, including this one dude who even my husband noticed was ridiculously attractive) came in a little bit ago and told me I had some happy test results, so that's awesome.
Gonna go plot a physical therapy coup now. Maybe my goal for the day should be walking from the bed to the bathroom without help. That seems worthy.
Later,
-k.
