Awful right???

The last 2 days have been quite hectic and exhausting. The party was wonderful, I definitely overdid it physically. Fortunately it wasn't a large venue so although I was on my feet much more than I should have been I wasn't really walking far. Just seeing the girls smiles, and hearing their giggles was incredible medicine for me.
The next day I certainly paid for it. I had been trying to reserve my pain medication Sarurday, to make sure I had enough to get me through Sunday and that left me really uncomfortable By the time Monday came around.
Monday I was sore, tired, emotionally over the rollercoaster of recovery, tired of feeling tired, angry that my husband doesn't run the house the way I do (I do acknowledge however, his way it's no better than mine just different And definitely includes more junk food lol)
I cried and slept most of Sunday night, into Monday.
Then there are the UPSIDES!
Sometimes I kind of feel guilty reporting when I feel well, because so many of you are struggling. Then there is a part of me that needs people who are still frightened to know that there is a best case scenario also, I suppose? I had no staples or stitches on the outside, all of my sutures are inside and I was glued shut. Lol
I still have absolutely no bruising and my incision as healing very well. I'm trying to leave it open to air but I can't bring myself to look at it lol.
I only used the Walker for the 1st day I was home, by the 2nd day I was hobbling on a cane and making too many trips up-and-down the steps. Now I keep the cane close by, rarely using it and I still make too many trips up-and-down the steps lol
My husband returns to work tomorrow after 16days off, and because he works nights He eats dinner at 3pm ( Which I have always had a struggle with making sure it was prepared so early with all of the other things going on during the day) and he leaves the house at 4, returning home at 7:00 a.m. just in time to drive the oldest to elementary school. I am a bit nervous as that is when I have the least amount of energy to wrangle the kids for dinner and bed.
I do have some friends close by who are willing to help me play mom taxi and I'm sooooooo grateful but I am READY to take my life back. If only I could heal on MY schedule.
I just had some groceries delivered, so let's see if I can whip up something decent tonight. Cooking is not my strong suit
