Saturday & Sunday

Yesterday I woke up, got dressed, and headed to Target and PetSmart with my mom. By the end I was so tired I had to come home and rest until my friend Claire came over with lunch from Panera for me. We caught up and watched super cute kittens on Animal Planet (that channel can be so addictive!), and when she left I was so tired I slept for a full 3 hours. I woke up, watched Will & Grace for a few hours (love the Saturday night marathons!), and was back asleep by 11. I slept on and off until about 9 this morning and was still tired when I got up. I think the exhaustion is the most surprising part about all this. I was actually told that, but it's still such a weird feeling to get tired from pretty much doing nothing. Today I went to my nephews basketball game, which made me happy since I haven't seen him too much since my surgery. I finally ate some Taco Bell (which is my absolute favorite and I've been avoiding it just in case it made me sick...I wouldn't want to have any negative feelings towards my love), and it did nothing for my bathroom issues. All I want in the whole world right now is to be able to use the bathroom (big dreams). I know that's a super attractive thing to share, but this whole surgery has thrown any shame I had out the window. It pretty much consumes all of my thoughts. I think at this point, about 80% of my pain comes from not having gone in a week. It's just so uncomfortable! I have my follow up tomorrow so hopefully they can help me out. I also miss being able to read in a bubble bath, so today I filled the tub with hot water and put my feet in it to read. Not completely the same thing, but it had a similar effect (kept my feet warm, at least). And then I napped again (because taking a fake bath is exhausting). And that's all the updates I've got. Hoping for a good report on my follow up tomorrow! :)

These are just a few of my many fading bruises from all the IVs and shots...
