Day 3 

Yesterday I was sore.  More sore than the day before.  I ate better as the day progressed and I started peeing  a little better.  Lisa and I both napped yesterday and took it easy.  We watched The Grand Budapest Hotel with my mother & Craig.  In addition to all we’ve been going through, my mother has been sick for the past 9 days.  And she’s not quiet about it.  Coughing up fleghm, moaning, blowing her nose, etc, etc ,etc.  So, it’s been a bit morbid around here.  Lisa took off her bandages yesterday and her incisions were oozing.  She was disappointed because mine looked a lot better.  However, my belly button was bandaged because they had a hard time with it.  We had yet to uncover that.  I slept much better last night and I peed at 2 and 4 am.  When I got up at 4, my pee was burning.  I feel right back to sleep (after another oxycodone).  I got up today and was uncomfortable … at 8am, I decided to try tylonol instead of oxy and I paid the price.  Too early for that.  We ate eggs, cheese and salsa and Lisa’s been nautious.  I took my bandage off my bellybutton and it looks really gross.  Oozing blood and puss.  So, Lisa’s side cuts are worse and my bellybutton’s worse.  Even steven.  I feel like I’m having menstrual cramps as well and I haven’t pooped since Saturday … today is Wednesday.  Lisa had her first poop and I’m eating prunes as I write.  Certain things were easier today.  Getting in and out of bed, peeing, taking a shower.  Bending is easier but still uncomfortable.  My throaght is better today as well. It hurt a few days after the surgery because they use a breathing tube.  I’m a little high at the moment on oxy and I’m ok with that!  I think that’s it for now.  The goal today is to poo!
