Feeling better

[tarotgal]

Had some rough moments since the surgery. I'm still at my mom's house (not allowed to drive until I'm off the pain meds, which I am as of yesterday evening). Ready to go home and finally feeling better.

I woke up this morning to "Dad's on a hunting trip, and he hasn't been home in a few days." I watched SPN Season 8 eps on TNT from 9am-noon on Wed and Thurs and was expecting to watch the first few episodes of season 1 today... but MARATHON! I should have guessed, but had no idea. This is what I miss when I'm at work on Fridays. LOL So those two remaining eps of Orange is the New Black Season 2 are going to have to wait until this marathon is over... at, what, 8pm? But that's when the hockey game is on. So... they'll still have to wait.

Anyway, yeah, feeling SO much better. Finally. Still in pain and it hurts to walk/move but sooooo much better. I look forward to one day being able to sleep lying down instead of sitting straight up, as I have been for the past 3 nights. It hurts to type, so I haven't been on the computer much.

*hugs - but not too tight* Glad to hear you're recovering. SPN is good medicine. :) Let me know if you need anything, even if it's just company while lounging. :)

They're such babies in season 1. They're, like, 20! It's adorable. Definitely happy-making, though.

Thanks so much for the offer. Mom's taking good care of me, so I'm good. I'm in the phase where I have to rush to the bathroom far too often... either because my tummy isn't sure what to make of food yet or because I took too many stool softeners. So I'm not particularly up for company yet. But I will take your cyber hugs any day! Thank you :-)

I love how Dean doesn't look much different but then you have baby!Sammy.

I figured you wouldn't be up for company anytime soon - that's why I offered instead of just stopping by. :) Just be sure that you or your mom checks your PO box regularly. :)

Actually, I think that but then I watch it and Dean appears to be, like, 15 in the pilot. They're both babies :-) I last checked my PO box on Monday, so I might not get to it until next Monday. But I might be able to convince her to swing by today when she's out on errands.

lol, I was just about to email you to see how you were doing, and then I decided to check LJ. :)

Glad to hear you're doing better! And SPN is definitely a good thing to have when you're feeling bad. I hope the pain goes away completely soon.

Hope YOU are feeling better as well!

I must admit I did nap a bit during the marathon today, but I needed that, and I think the boys would understand. heehee

Glad you're starting to feel better. I've been thinking of you. I miss you when you don't post!
Hopefully you're back to normal soon.

Thank you for thinking about me. You're so sweet :-) I suspect it will take a while to fully recover, but I'm happy to take the small victories where I can get them. Yesterday I mastered taking a shower and today I mastered walking up and down stairs. heehee

Hey, glad you got through it! Hopefully you'll be getting around more easily soon. It was keyhole surgery, right? Walking hurts, but it'll also help get things back to normal.

LOL I had to look that term up. Yes, it was laparoscopic surgery. So only 4 incisions with the biggest one at my naval. And then my body having to adjust to the gallbladder being not there any more. The pain meds totally threw my digestive system for a curve even though I was taking stuff to offset that. And that made things soooooo much worse than it had to be. But I'm off all that stuff now and my IBS has settled down a bit, so that complication might be officially gone and I can just concentrate on the routine healing. I just need to remind myself not to push myself and not to carry anything over 10lbs.
