(You wouldn't believe the amount of trash that blows over here into this corner of the yard from the house construction sites not far from us. Either that or its blowing in from the lake. We collect about a bag every two weeks of junk. What's there are packaging from shingles. Anyway I'm not here to moan about that...)
Its been a long day. I've worked late. Chris has worked late. I'm super tired because I did dinner and dogs on my own and for some reason my energy is still getting zapped at the very end of the day. That zapping happens later each night. Tonight it was about 830. Tomorrow maybe 845. I don't think this is totally unexpected because I work very long days to begin with and we aren't even two weeks out of surgery yet. Tomorrow my brain will be on again I think because I'll be home before it shuts off. I can happily report that I'm not having pain. My incisions seem to be mostly healed but aren't quite there yet. I have to base this on the one incision that the bandage has fallen off of because I've taken steps (tape and band-aids) to keep the others on. I'm not feeling any pain from then except the occasional prickly sensation and an unbelievable amount of itching. I think that is more due to being semi-allergic to the glue on the hospital band-aids then to actual healing. The part that itches is along the edge of the tape and not on the incision itself.

Listen to your body....rest when it says to. This is important after surgery because your body needs a time when it is doing nothing else (i.e. sleeping) to repair. Gus is awesome. =)
I had that same problem with the tape. The itching can drive you CRAZY!!! Hope it stops soon for you.
As always -- Gus is adorable.
Sleep is sometimes the best thing for your body when it's trying to heal. It's almost as if it needs you to turn off so that it can get to the important job of fixing things.
Boy time go's by when your gone. It looks like I've missed so good posts of yours. So what is he looking at under the fence?
The faces of Gus - but the first thing I saw was Abby's butt! Gus looks very mournful. maybe he is sad cos you have to work such long hours (at work before dawn? Love the lightning. Don't get it here in coastal CA. Boring!)
I get itchy from various adhesives. Like puffing up and going bright red. Argh! Hope the itch goes as you replace the hospital stuff (or just leave the coverings off!).
Our rental back home seemed to attract rubbish. We had two minute noodle wrappers, chinese lolly (candy) wrappers, building stuff, polystyrene foam bits and balls... you name it we had it! None of it was ours cos we didn't have any of those thing.
Love the pictures! And yes, rest when your body says rest :) (also, I hear you about that tape; my skin always ends up peeling off under that hospital tape, sigh...)
Glad to hear you are feeling better. Gosh, how did I become behind again on your blog? I'm catching up tonight. ;)
Love the dog collage of pics. Too cute.
