I really don't know why, but crying is a very, very rare thing for me.

I was never much of a crier but after Pumpkins died i almost totally stopped. I feel is all locked inside. tomorrow can;t wait for marcia to come and give me a lesson on compassion. I am so blocked with my sister and there is so much pain. oops sorry for using your thread

[Mari]

Kay,

I hope that you hear from the doctor Monday.

Thank you, Mari

The Nexplanon should have been easy to remove. I have no idea what went wrong there, but the bandage on my arm was hiding an incision that had to be closed with steri-strips. I kept putting off my shower, but after I finally got my *** in there, I felt a lot better.

Unfortunately, I still need the Vicodin. I'm still pretty swollen, and from what I know about abdominal surgery, I think the two things are probably linked. I need a few things at the store, and since I won't drive, I asked my husband if he'd take me today, and he volunteered to go himself

I could have killed Buddy last night because he jumped from the floor onto my stomach while I was laying in bed. He only weighs 7 pounds, but he had momentum and hit me just right. Even worse, Rocky who weighs 25 pounds, decided to walk right across my stomach this morning… it was a rude awakening
Buddy crawls all over me whenever I'm at the computer. I'm trying very hard to keep him off of my lap, and he's trying very hard to get on it repeatedly.


Everyone in my family yelled. I cried. My tears were like blood in the water… a sign of weakness. I think I probably stopped crying out of self-preservation. Yelling is still rare for me, too.

I don't think you need a lesson in compassion Bobby. You have unresolved issues with your sister and that makes it difficult to complete the grieving process… that's something different.

i am sorrry about your cats. I think they have a sixth sense. you poor thing

You will keep healing. And the cats will get over not being able to get on
the stomach. Just keep telling them no.

Kay,

I hope that the kitties give you a break by refraining from jumping on your stomach.

Everyone in my family yelled and cried. We were (are) loud people.
We curse a lot too.

When I am at work or in public I still have to consciously modulate my voice so I do not come across as loud and rude.
Certain curse words, thank goodness, have become more acceptable recently.

Back to my pre-op weight… still swollen, but much less so this morning, and my pain is much better. Advil, no more Vicodin. I went to the BR, so I'm more comfortable in that sense as well.

My husband did go to the store for me yesterday
But we're running out of food, and since I'm feeling better and not on pain meds anymore, I think I'll venture out to do some proper grocery shopping tomorrow. I don't carry the bags anymore anyway.

My GYN didn't call me back yesterday… I'm ******!!! I put another call in to her office this morning. I'm going to ****ing flip out if she doesn't call me back today.

I narrowly escaped another morning walk-over from Rocky. I was awake enough to hear the little sounds he makes when he does it, and was able to roll over on my side before he got to my stomach, so he just rubbed up against my body instead


I grew up with a lot of swearing too, Mari. It took me a long time to control it, but I learned to do it pretty well with the occasional slips. I have almost zero control over it now that I stopped working and my husband, who works in construction, is my main contact with the outside world. I swear like a truck driver! Some people think it's really funny, others not so much.

[mymorgy]

i used to really swear ...i got it from going to a girl's school. lately it is reappearing. I like the f word

[Mari]

Kay,

It is good to hear that the pain is down. I wish you well in your recovery.

Rocky sounds so cute. How big is he?
