It's been a few days since I blogged. Dave and I are both slowly recovering from the feelings of extreme exhaustion that came home with us from Florida. Dave doesn't need to help me in and out of bed which means he can have some unbroken sleep. (Not for me, though, as I'm often up throughout the night.) Gray Kitty has yet to figure out why he can't climb on my chest for cuddles while I'm laying down. The rest of our home life goes on, only now with twice daily bandage changes and so much more protein.
The surgeon recommends 100 to 150 grams of protein a day and i struggle to get that on a vegetarian diet, so I finally relented and started eating more meat. We've been home a week and in that time I've eaten my way through two small pot roasts and a whole chicken. It's a lot. Tasty but overwhelming.
What else is going on today?
Today is windy, a very typical springtime thing around these parts.
I haven't had any pain meds today, something i haven't been able to say for three weeks at least. That means that my pain level is lower today. Yay?
