Appendix part deux!

It's almost like there are these periods where our relationship is smooth and steady, and then there are times when it's like standing on the edge of this gorgeous, wonderful waterfall and just letting yourself drop, knowing that there's a safe pool of water ready to catch you at bottom. You take the plunge and you're in wayyyy over your head, but oh man, it's exhilarating, it's breathtaking, it's just incredible and you feel better than you ever have before and the water is cool and refreshing and exactly what you needed.

Sam is my waterfall.

Appendix part deux!

Know what is awesome?

I haven't had a pain pill since about 9 or 10 last night. Haven't needed one. I'm a little achy and tender, but my arthritis pain hurts worse than this does. It's 22 hours later without even a Tylenol.

This has to be God working, because you just DON'T have major surgery and no real pain.

What a blessing!

On the other hand, my comment about running a marathon?

No.

I'm feeling pretty low energy right now.

But maybe we'll try for next week. ;)

I'm so glad you came through the surgery with flying colors, and are not in any great pain.

Hope the rest of your recovery goes quickly and smoothly.

I find that after my own surgeries, I feel great for the first 24 hours. Then as all the drugs work themselves out of my system, I crash. Literally, and for a few days, too. I sleep and loll about until my energy comes back. I hope you're feeling better soon. Take care and let yourself get some rest and heal.

Yeah, that's pretty normal. Plus, by day 2-3 your intestines get going again and the gas can be a pretty awful experience.

Jenn, I hope today is a good one. Drink a lot of water. No ice, no straws--they cause gas.
