Post Op update ~ Monday

I had previously made application to disability and upon return from surgery there was follow-up mail; a questionnaire for my return.

In my delirium I attempted to ring them yesterday (Sunday).. Duuhh!

Even though I feel like I have lock jaw and every swallow, of simple saliva, feels like razor blades... I had no choice but to call and report my current status (as indicated in their letter)...
Luckily, my call was answered by someone who heard the distress, understood the struggle, & realized how dramatic it was that she could understand me so soon after surgery.

I will still attempt to get paperwork back asap, as vision allows, but for now the alarm for the dilaudid is about to sound and I couldn't be more thrilled!!

Today's menu features primarily Popsicles (orange & red are favs)!! Making a dietary exception - as these Popsicles are no where close to real fruit, much less, organic. But, Feels so good!
And under the heading "who knew _____ tasted so good" please file cream of chicken soup (organic, carton NOT can).. Delicious, soothing, and savory with a little Mrs.Dash!

I resumed hydro-therapy this morning... Really enjoying the herbal addition of rosemary and mint. Right leg exceptionally stiff and painful since all the hospital walking on Friday, thankful for wheelchair service.
Pelvic, Hip, and Low back pain (the mice?) have cranked up a notch as well.

I'll admit it scared me a degree when I saw my mother's shadow as the light in the hospital parking area silhouetted me!
