Hey - hope you are doing ok? I'm struggling. Not trying to be anti-social or anything, but in a lot of pain. I was SO tired and blecky last night that I didn't take my late dose of codeine. Then, I overslept (was up and down all night) and had to rush to make it to work on time. Needless to say, my temper was flaring, and I pitched a tantrum (only word for it) and didn't take ANY of my stuff this morning....no codeine, no antibiotics, not steroid....I'm stupid. SO, by 9:30 I was calling Mike almost in tears. He came out and brought me to lunch so I could eat something and take my pills (I had left them at home too, so he grabbed them). Now I just have to hang in there until the codeine kicks in and takes the pain away - praying it doesn't knock me out...am SO tired.
Am going to get my hair trimmed and colored again on Sunday. Figure it is time to touch up the color anyway, and I want it cut again so it is low maintenance...I won't be able to take showers, just baths, for at LEAST a week until the stitches come out and it is healed enough to go in the water so I want LOW MAINTENANCE. Mike already said that he figures he will be washing my hair in the kitchen sink for me a time or two, but it is going to be REALLY difficult.
I'm not worried about the surgery or the outcome. I have convinced myself that it is NOT cancer, even though they can't really rule it out yet. My pre-op exam showed that my heart is very healthy and strong, and other then this monster cyst, I am in good health. I am just exhausted from the codeine and the pain and everyone worrying about it.
My grandparents called last night, they are scared to go to FL next week like they are scheduled to because "what if...". Told them that they should go - it's fine. I am going to go over there Sunday so they know that I really AM ok.
Have I mentioned that I just want this DONE?
Anyway, don't want to whine any more about it - how are your joints? Any word from the dr yet on what you can and cannot do? Let me know what is going on.
Hmmm....I bet you aren't even in work today - I remember you had to go somewhere with your mom today.....oh well....you'll get it eventually LOL. Maybe I'll call tonight- see how I feel.
Love ya!
Tracey
