Perchance to....

A few more days have passed, and I have felt better after each one.  I have more strength each day, and I am able to get around and conservatively do whatever I need for myself.  I even sat on a stool and cooked some taco meat last night to go with the chips and taco dip that my supervisor from work brought us.  Thank you, Julie!

I am fighting the beginning stages of a sinus infection.  Fantastic, right?  I am already on antibiotics to help in my healing process and to prevent any infection from setting in there.  It should help to make this bout of sinus trouble relatively short.  At least that's what I am praying for.

....After a day's break...

I was sidelined by a good night's sleep which started directly in the middle of my composition of this post, and not on purpose.  My goodness, healing from major surgery + pain medication makes for strange sleeping patterns.  On that note, today I had a bit of trouble with a section of my incision.  I will not disgust anyone with those details, but it was worrisome enough that I called my Doctor.  He said that it was nothing to worry about.  Well, okay.  I'll try.  But it is so very, very hard.  I had a really hard time healing when I had my reduction last November on one side, and I don't want a repeat of that, though it looks as if I'm going to have it.  I guess I shouldn't complain.  At least it is just a small area, instead of the entire length of the incision.  That is, 18 inches or so.

So, I learned today that I must slow down even more than I already have. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm game.  Sleeping and laying around all day gives me a headache.  I can't sleep on my back right now because of the sinus stuff. I can only sleep on my sides for short bursts before it becomes too painful.  Perhaps someone could teach me how to levitate all bundled up and cozy?  Anyone?  No?  Well,  I didn't expect there to be, but a girl can dream....if she could ever stay asleep.

Actually, it's funny.  I am dreaming, a lot actually.  Weird dreams.  They are so weird in fact, that I can't finish a good description of one.  Some of them are just goofy.  Some are really freaky.  Some are continuations of previous subjects my sub-conscious mind has chosen to dwell upon during my restless slumber.  they all share one thread, that all of the dreams defy explanation, and are vivid in the moment, but too fuzzy to recollect upon waking.

I'm tired.  I am tired of sleeping.  I'm tired of being sleepy, but not being able to sleep.  Perhaps  I should just be happy.  At least I am still waking up. :)
