The days are long

There are times when I wish I could speed through life just a little. I am ready to be done with these first few post-op days. It's very hard to get in all my protein. I also ache everywhere. 

I am trying to pamper myself a bit. I took half a dose of my pain meds to maybe take the edge off the pain. I was able to take a nice nap. Unfortunately I can't just sleep all day and let my body heal up. I have to push my liquids and do deep breathing and go for short walks. So I need most of the hours in my day. 

I'm feeling a bit emotional and vulnerable which is pretty common for me after surgery. The good news is that I don't feel any hunger whatsoever and I have no regrets. I'm tired and cranky and hurt. But this is going to pass. Each day I should feel a little better. I just hope I feel well enough to return to work next week
