It was oh so tempting to write post-partum there 😂🤣
I’m doing really well considering. If you had asked me last week if I’d be up and about daily (though in really short bursts) I would have tried to either smack or strangle you.
My pain levels are overall lower than they were – though by no means gone. As long as I wake up between 5-6am to take a pain pill I’m comfortable. I’m only on one Percocet at a time (plus the ibuprofen) so I think I’m doing really well.
Had a shower last night (first one since I got home, but I did have one in the hospital!) and it totally wiped me out.
I’m still crash-napping for an hour or so at a time, which is having a bit of an effect on my circadian rhythms, but honestly right now I think it’s the equivalent of “sleep when the baby sleeps”.
I’m eating proper food without issue, though my appetite is still greatly reduced (no bad thing) and prune juice is still very much my friend.
I’m walking much easier though sitting upright is still too uncomfortable after five minutes or so.
Physically getting up or lying down is the worst of it right now, that plus coughing or laughing.
Overall though, I’m recuperating rather well I feel.
Just wish I had the headspace to pick up my needles or hooks.
