I'm Back!

...Well, somewhat.

I am still stuck in bed for the most part.

After all, it is only 5 days since my knee surgery.

Day One-Satuday

Was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!

I slept for most of the day because I felt so sick to my stomach.

The anesthesia and pain meds really did a number on me.

I only ate a little food and drank very little water.

I had to check my bandages and cried because it hurt so bad.

The left side

The right side. Most painful side.

Day Two-Sunday

Still was feeling sick to my stomach.

Pain was a little better.

I would be exhausted from going to and from my room and the bathroom.

I could only eat a few bites of food then feel sick again.

Day Three-Monday

New Years Eve!!!

I stayed in bed...duh. haha

I slept most of the day, and when I wasn't asleep, I was watching Netflix

{thank God for Netflix, seriously}

I ate soup for dinner and that came right back up.

So my mom called my doctor and he prescribed me medicine. 

I took it as soon as my dad came home with it, and it helped so much!!

Day Four-Tuesday

I felt 100 times better!

I was actually hungry!

I ate real food, rather than Jello and Sprite

It was amazing, haha.

My dad got me Egg Fried Rice from the local Thai food place.

It hit the spot!!

I didn't feel sick at all thanks to that medicine.

And I took a real shower, instead of a sponge bath!!!!

Parker and I hung out for a little, we were both pretty tired so we slept most of the time haha.

Day 5- Wednesday

{today}

I feel good!!

I don't feel sick anymore.

I had an apple today, along with some other food, which was really good.

I stopped taking the pain meds because of how they made me feel, and because...

well, they just aren't great for your digestive system if you catch my drift.

I am still pretty tired from when I get up to go to the restroom.

And I am really weak when I try to open my pill bottles, but that will change. 

My arms are really small from not eating and just sleeping, so I am going to start lifting my little weights to get some muscle back.

All in all, I am a happy camper. 

I don't have much pain when I walk with my crutches.

Tomorrow my goal is to get out of the house and in the sun.

I have to go to the bank, so might as well make that my trip! haha

Hope everyone is having a great start to their 2013!!!
