Week 2 of post-surgery life continues much like last week. On Friday I felt like I’d be well enough to go back up to my WFH office and sit at my desk like normal but then I felt kinda icky all weekend so I’m back down on the couch again.
Post-op was thursday and she said all looked good. She asked if I’d seen my lab reports – I saw that they had said Adenomyosis. She said that explained my issues. Basically it means the endometrial tissue was growing into the muscular wall of the uterus. THAT’S why periods had gotten so weird! It was very validating to hear that and that wasn’t just overblowing what was going on. I never have to worry with it again! She also said I can take a bath in a week, whoo! I HATE our shower, I’ve been wanting a bath so bad.

I did get dressed and get out a bit this weekend, ran errands saturday morning, went to dinner with my parents saturday night, went to barnes and noble yesterday. I’m completely off the big pain meds at this point (it was messing with my stomach) and just taking the mega-Aleve once a day. But that meant I’m feeling all these weird twinges and aches, but mostly i feel stiff and sore. Mostly in my abdomen of course, but its like everything from my waist to my knees, and then on Sunday it felt like my whole body. It feels like I’ve been tensing everything for days and now I don’t know how to stop.
I tried to go back to sleeping in the bedroom friday, but it was too uncomfortable. The couch lets me lean against the back if I want to sleep on my side, and the couch cushion forms to the shape of my back when sleeping on my back. The bed doesn’t do that, and it makes my stomach feel stretched and uncomfortable. So I’m still on the couch for now.
My photo roll is basically nothing except pics of Luna.
Still swollen and I didn’t realize how much swollen until i put on leggings to go out saturday, and immediately went and put on a longer shirt to hide my stomach. I literally look like I have a little baby bump. Except it’s the opposite. Anti-baby-bump.
Luna has abandoned me. After being my couch buddy for over a week, she has left me 🙁
Chase brought his blanket out to the living room for a nap on the chair and she decided that’s her spot now. She ignores all of my cajoling to get her to come back to my couch LOL
My Troi fabric! I did settle on this. The colour of that dress looked so different from screencap to screencap I decided to just go with one I liked from a source I like. IT came fast! It’s been haunting me. I want to go dig in but getting up and down from the sewing room floor is a no go right now. Maybe next weekend I can clear off the table and actually work there.
I’ve got to start swatching belle. it feels overwhelming at the moment. I wish I could get down to atlanta to fabric shop instead. Alas. But I’ve got a good start of stuff for the other 2 out of 3 current projects so that’s something.
