Day 4

Today was an up and down day.

This morning I slept for 12 hours (Midnight to noon). This is a bit concerning considering I did not take any sleep enhancers and I never sleep that long. Very bizzare. I absolutly hate waking up and half the day is already over.

I finally had my first bowel movement since surgery. It was very concerning to me as the waste was covered in a fuzzy white substance (kind of like mold on bread).

I rushed online and basically found out that the white substance was mucus. Of course the reasons for this were vast and included some scary things.

I called my doctor and explained what I had. He confirmed it was mucus and advised me that it was normal and not to fret.

I definetly felt even more energy today and less pain. I can pretty much get in and out of bed/chairs etc without it taking a long time, something that has been a struggle.

I had an energy drink for breakfast. I didnt really have anything for lunch but I have been drinking as much vitamin water as I can. For dinner I had a small cup of beans and cheese. I have really started mixing liquids with some mushies earlier than prescribed.

I am hoping to be close to pain free within the next couple days so we shall see!
