I am one week post-op today and I was in a tremendous amount of pain. I had been feeling good all week, so much so, that I think I over did it and paid for it severely today. Today was a nonstop day with busy stuff for my kids (movies, parties, etc). I woke up extremely tired and having a ton of pain around my port. I also had left shoulder gas pain return with a vengeance yesterday and it was still lingering again today. The pain around my port is new so it is pretty concerning.

I made it through the majority of the day and called home to tell my husband we were returning from a birthday party and he mentioned work tonight. WAIT! WHAT? I swear he did not work tonight...I had mental plans for him to take the kids to swim lessons so I could take a much needed nap. Nope. Not gonna happen. I immediately burst into the tears that were threatening all day.

Today really was hell. Maybe it doesn't sound that bad in writing, but it was. It was freaking 112 sitting in my uncomfortable chair at swim lessons. Mind you I almost had to ask another adult for help out of the chair due to the pain I was in. Nice. Simply nice.

Almost bedtime.

yea sounds like you over done things a bit, sorry. Hope you get some much needed rest tonight.

one week is not long enough to recuperate and resume normal activities... hope you get some help with your children's activities too...Take care of yourself as best you can...
