gloomy saturday

So, I just finished reading the first book of The Hunger Games Trilogy. It has taken me a while because I was taking pain medication around the clock before and I haven't needed to do that lately. It was a really easy read. I got up around 8 this morning, and it is now 315, I have been reading since I opened my eyes, besides going to brush my teeth, 2 potty breaks, and a quick break to warm up a few pieces of left over pizza, back to my recliner to read more. I honestly had no idea what the book was about, besides the commercial for the movie "let the hunger games begin!!!" Very good book, made me a little jumpy when my refrigerator makes a noise or a neighbor slams a door. I am excited to go see the movie next week when it comes out.

Last night was the first night I was able to recline in my recliner since Monday night. After that fill on Tuesday the skin in between my foobs is very tight and it was just way to uncomfortable to lay on my back. I feel very rested. I actually drove yesterday, to chipotle and dairy queen, I was craving and tired of depending on others (I've been tired of that since day 1). It wasn't too bad my arms are still pretty stiff, This wasn't the first time, I drove myself to my fill appointment on 3/6 which was really hard. I never realized how many things I take for granted, just little things, like putting my hair up in a pony, washing my back in the shower, shaving under my arms. All of those things are so challenging now. Yes I can lift my arms but only to where my elbow is at a 90 degree angle, who shaves like that? I have been wearing my hair the same since surgery, stretchy headband with a loose ponytail. *shrugs* it works. I can do it myself if I sit on the floor and put my elbows on my knees its not perfect but, it is getting better.

I can get through the day with taking a few motrin, at night I revert to a Valium if the muscle spasms are pretty bad, my plastic surgeon wants me to use the Valium before the percocet, he feels some of my issue is a little anxiety, which I agree.

I was sitting here this morning, my apartment is pretty dark, its gloomy outside, supposed to rain today and tomorrow. I could get up and open my blinds but id rather not, at least not right now. Anyways I was sitting here earlier, feeling my left foob (weird I know) the left one is the weird one with the bulge where you can feel the edge of the expander "poking" out, I was just thinking back at how fast all of this happened, me getting my blood drawn in December, getting results in January, having surgery in February. Now is is march I am 28 days post surgery, feeling pretty good about things, but wondering when will it be over, I have no doubt that I will be happy with my final results, but I feel like now I am playing this waiting game. I knew what I was getting into, these rock hard boobs I will have to deal with till at least sometime in June. I just hope that June decides to make his/her way here quickly!

Anyways, I just wanted to get on to say a little something I guess. I am going to stay in my recliner for the rest of the day, catch up on a few recorded shows, finish up my homework assignment that is due tomorrow (don't think I mentioned before I am in school for my BSN), and possibly start the second book of The Hunger Games. I hope everyone has a Blessed Saturday!
