Today was pretty bad. I woke up VERY sore and didn't want to move. I really didn't feel like drinking today either and never got hungry. I did get down a protein shake. It was pretty good really. I took my meds although the Prozac I was afraid to take in the capsule form so I opened it and poured the powder in my mouth. That stuff is NASTY!!! But I was afraid it wouldn't go down otherwise. I also got down one of the protein shots. Those are pretty nasty too! Did I mention I was VERY sore?!? My shoulder was really bad too but I kept taking the gas-x and would get up and walk. Finally I was able to get some gas out but I still have the pain in my shoulder.
Dr. Carter's instructions for today said I was to take the coverings off my incisions while leaving the steri-strips alone and take a shower washing the incision area with antibacterial soap. This freaked me out and I was scared to do this as well. I don't think I mentioned this previously but I have never had surgery before. So EVERYTHING at this point is freaking me out. By mid-afternoon I gathered up enough courage to do it and got in the shower. Most of today was spent sleeping, taking the pain medicine and making myself get up and walk and drink my fluids.
