Today is a big day in my recovery. My husband went back to work today, and he has college right after work too, so I won't see him until about 10pm tonight. So it's just me and the kids all day.
I also need to drive in town, and if anyone has ever driven in Fayetteville, NC you would understand why I'm nervous. I'm sure I'll be fine so long as I don't need to make any emergency stops.
Aside from driving, the only other thing I was worried about was being able to reach the cereal boxes. My husband must love me because he took them down before he left for work.
I came home from Florida on Sunday and the drive was much more comfortable than the drive down. I still had my pillow on my chest incase of bumps. And yesterday was my big day out. I went with my husband to the Pembroke Campus to pick up his text book. (On a side note, when the hell did I get so old. I felt like a Grandma walking around the campus). Then we braved the Commissary on Ft Bragg. I made it through without wanting to punch anyone which is an accomplishment on any given day. I was tired by the time I got home, but I spent an additional 3 - 4 hours outside with the kids and chatting to neighbors. That made me feel good because I just couldn't have done that a week ago. And my neighbors commented that I must be feeling a lot better because I was dressed cute. Yay me.
Slowly but surely, right?
Oh, and I've also been able to have a bath!! I love baths so I hate during any kind of recovery when I'm not allowed one.
I'm getting closer to being able to lay on my side - I just don't like how the top boob feels. It's like it's pulling down a little. Maybe a body pillow would help. I've also gone down to one Motrin horse pill a day. I take it right before bed to help me sleep.
I'm not in a whole lot of pain - it's just uncomfortable still but not as bad as it was. I'm getting better just a little at a time, and I'm OK with that. And only having back/neck/shoulder pain once in the last two weeks, I'll take it!
