what does matt think about this surgery? it blows!

ha!

well today is better than yesterday, so that's a start. No nausea today, and no need for Matt to try to distract me from it. And I've been drinking A LOT of tea, and that's been helping.

I've had A LOT of carbs...rice. a baked potato. an entire sleeve of saltines. goldfish--which apparently Gobi LOVES. and we've watched more movies--Paycheck, If Only and Once. I'd seen Paycheck (and still don't understand why people hate on it, though I'll admit the very very end is a skosh cheesy), If Only was good but a little sad, and Once, which was recommended by two people, was a good movie with good music.

next in the line-up: City of Angels, Oceans Twelve and Casino Royale. Right now I see at least twenty-seven others to choose from--plus what netflix is sending, plus what I actually own. I'm spending quite a bit more time awake this go-around, so the movies are helping me not move around a lot--because let me tell you what, if I move around too much? I can tell. And it ain't pretty.

oh and I finally bathed. and it was glorious. I washed my hair in the shower and then switched to taking a bath. I know, I know, shame on me in the drought, but I've had surgery so cut me a teensy bit of slack. besides, I didn't shower yesterday! but yeah, bubbles and candles and aaaah, soooooooo nice. I feel much better, and like I should continue to hang out in this recliner and take a little siesta.

and then I shall eat some of the potluck dinner from church today--the pastor's wife brought it over, and has also organized meals for me for the next few days. I'd tried to avoid that because I didn't want to impose, but I am SO glad I agreed to it, it will be a huge help.

it's now been 48 hours-ish since I got home from the hospital. let's hope I've had my only bout of worse before better! fingers crossed!
