Flowers

Flowers from my coworkers! So sweet of them. Aren't these just lovely?

You can see my sock that I started yesterday at the hospital in the bottom left of the photo. Its finished now and just waiting for Kitchener on the toes. I'm going to convince Chris to get my darning needle from my knitting bag across the house.

I'm not doing to badly today. Haven't needed pain pills. Mostly I have pains when I stand after sitting or laying down. At that time I am also hunched over like an old crone. Happily this seems to go away after 4 or 5 minutes of walking around and I can unbend myself without pain. Also I am now starting to feel sore in my sides. It hurts like a stitch from running when I try to breathe deeply or laugh too much. Otherwise I feel great and am totally looking forward to tomorrow when I am allowed to shower again.

The doctor told me that "stitchy" pain is trapped gas from the surgery. I found that drinking warm tea helped.

Also laying down will help it dissipate.

Glad you are doing well. Every day gets easier!

Your flowers are so cute. I love gerbera daisies, especially the dark ones.

Hugs! Funny - when I've had surgery, I've been told that walking dissipates the stitchy pain! Just goes to show you...

Beautiful flowers. Just lovely.

You have great coworkers - and pretty flowers! I hope you keep getting better, the shower will probably help with that :)

I am so sorry I didn't send well wishes sooner - I hadn't had time to read. I hope this resolves all your issues and you are feeling 110% in no time.
