Today I tried two things. First was putting on a pair of jeans. That went so-so. My incision runs from my belly button down so the zipper of my jeans runs pretty much the same course. I'm still tender there so when I zipped up I was very aware of my boo-boo. It wasn't horrible, but I didn't leave my jeans on. I went straight back to the pj bottoms. Ahhhh....
Second was driving. I've ridden in a car twice since coming home from the hospital. While driving, I could feel the seat belt rubbing on my sore spots as I shifted my foot from the gas to the brake. I also realized that backing up is a bit weird because I am trying to be careful while twisting in the seat to see where the cars are. I don't know if I'm moving too much or not moving enough. I really wish I could have gotten more guidance in regards to my recovery. I've found a couple of websites that have been helpful, but I wish my doctor would have had more time to talk to me. I don't want to mess up since, as one site pointed out, you have only one chance to recover from an operation. Do-overs don't really happen in this situation.
Here's what I've been watching and reading:
DVD's:
Michael Clayton- B+
Cloverfield- A-
Lust, Caution- A-
plus, I've re-watched Juno, Spaceballs, MST3K: The Movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and I got caught up on the ep's of Dr. Who and Battlestar Galactica that were on while I was in the hospital
BOOKS:
re-read Pride & Prejudice
about 1/2 through Then We Came To The End
about 4 chapters into a Jane Austen Bio by Carol Shields
This was sort of funny. I got a flower arrangement from work yesterday. The card said the usual Get Well sort of stuff, but it was "signed" The Staff from Store 2778....as though another store would be sending me flowers. Funny and a bit odd, at least to me.
