That would be the following:
Shit
Sleep
Sip
Yes, that's what I've been doing. And believe me, the first one is SOOOO important. Gas is my enemy and it hurts like a momma. BM's help get the gas out as well as the residual blood left over from the surgery. Don't be freaked out if you see that.. Maybe I should have put a disclaimer on this entry. Hmm.. Milk of Magnesia or MOM is also good. But don't take too much. I only took 2 tablespoons worth and it started working. Remember, you're only doing liquids, it just needs a bit of a push. The next night I took the same amount and it seems to be doing well.
This weekend I've managed to get out and walk around a bit. The family bought a Wii so I can do fun and cool stuff when I work out at home. I had no idea, and I don't know who they sold their souls to to find one. But I have to say Wii Sports is FUN. But I think I overdid a bit on the bowling. Was really sore after that.
So that comes to S #2, sleep. I've been sleeping a lot. This is normal as I heal when I sleep. Your also not getting as much calorie intake, so you're weaker. Another part of this is I'm coming off of caffine. I'm gettin monster headaches. The doctor gave me some really good narcotic/tylenol liquid stuff that is made of win. I take one dose and it starts working immediately. It does make you sleepy but if you are hurting bad enough then you need it.
I went and saw him on Friday because the gas pains were bad. That's where the MOM recommendation came in.
Sip, the third S. Broth is my friend. As is Propel fitness water. Easy peasy and no need to mix. It also has vitamins in it. I'm doing pretty good on the eating and drinking front. I just wish the tenderness would go away.
Funky sleep schedule is killing me though. I need to go back and lay down again. I'm still tired.
More later gators. :)
