Quick Update
Aug. 3rd, 2011 09:59 pmWell, I got a little writing done today. About 500 words or so. I really thought I'd be able to do a chapter a week, but it looks more like every two weeks at the moment. I guess it's still hard to focus. Some days are good and some days are less good. That sounds familiar. Was that a line from Buffy? Anyway, I digress. I've been sneezing a lot today so now my abdomen feels all bruised. I am going to get a massage on Friday because my body is so stiff and sore from having to spend so much time in bed. My therapist specialized in pregnancy massage, which is perfect because I cannot lay on my stomach yet. So she can do massage with side lying, and I can lie on my back now, too for short periods of time. I am really looking forward to it, except for the fact that I will have to climb a flight of stairs and that will take me some time right now. I've gone to the chiropractor a couple of times since the surgery, but he's had to just adjust my neck and use the activator on my back because I can't handle any cross body adjustments yet. Though that is what I sorely need. Hopefully the massage will work out the worst of it.
I miss being able to take baths. Once the last tube is out and the hole heals up I think I will take a bath a night for a week. I like my showers, but there is nothing like a good, long soak for sore muscles.
Oh, and as far as things are going, things are functioning in such a way as I think I may not end up needing that surgery in November. Things are so much better. I may still need it at some point, but if I could put it off for a while we could pay off this surgery and then pay off the rest of our (my) old medical debt from years past by March or April. I feel like I've practically been mortgaged to the hospital since 2003. It will be so good to see the back of that.
