Just plum wore out

I went back to the PS yesterday. He removed the left drain.....I'm free, I'm free!!!! I feel so much better now.

I returned to work today. My kids were all very excited to see me...it has been 2 whole weeks! They knew I was out because I was having surgery. Of course they didn't know what kind of surgery, they were just told it was surgery on my tummy. One of my aides had talked to them yesterday about when I return she knew that they would be happy to see me, but they could not run up to me and hug me without asking because my tummy was still very sore from surgery. I was glad that she had that talk with them, otherwise they wouldn't have given it a thought to run up to me and throw their arms around me.

Although I was happy to get back to work, it absolutely plum wore me out. My grandmother used to always say "plum wore out"...not sure why the "plum" makes it seem so much more serious, but it does :)

I made multiple trips to the bathroom to make sure I wasn't leaking through the bandages at the drain sites. The Rockstar bandaged them up good this morning, so I made it through the day with no problems there.

My department gave me a get well card with a gift card in it. They said it was to go buy my new thongs. They all know what kind of surgery I had and I had jokingly said that I was gonna be so sexy that I may show up to work in a thong :)

Wanna know what the hardest part about the day was?? Of course you do. It was wearing regular clothes. I have been in sweats for 2 weeks straight. It was uncomfortable to have on regular pants on top of this binder. I have to tell ya...I don't mind wearing the binder at all. In fact, I hate the way it feels when I have it off to change bandages, bathe, etc.

I have feeling that I will sleep very well tonight. I may even try to sleep in the bed now that I can turn over on my side....I will let ya know how that goes :)
