Post Surgery Diet⟫ Liquids
I’ve gone down with a cold and feel absolutely dreadful. Everytime I sneeze, I hold on to my abdomen and worry that I’m going to rip my incisions or something and sometimes there is a sharp pain. Of course, I am more than likely hyperfixating and panicking, but I do feel rough.
I ended up crashing out early evening again and slept for around six hours. On the one hand, excellent as rest is essential. On the other hand, it’s also why I was wide awake from midnight! This morning’s weigh means that since I weighed in at the hospital last Thursday morning, I have lost 4.70 kg (10.36lbs) which is nothing to be sneezed at. I know I still have a lot of air inside and I’m not drinking/eating enough, so my body almost feels like it’s hanging on to absolutely everything it can!
I’ve put together a basket for Click’n’Collect from Tesco and will ask Book_grim to go and pick it up. It will be good for to get out of the house and get some fresh air, and I know she used to quite enjoy a ramble around that Tesco as it was near to her Halls of Residence. I cancelled part of an order I’d placed with Amazon as it was saying delivery by next Wednesday which makes a mockery of Prime and I just added the stuff to the Tesco order. I’ve gone for skimmed milk, skimmed milk powder, greek yoghurt, some cup a soups, tissues (soft ones for my sore nose) and a few other bits and bobs. I don’t think I’ll have to order anything again for a little while, not until the girls do the Christmas food shop anyway.
I don’t know what I want to do with my day. I finished the book I was reading (absolutely brilliant and I wrote a review immediately which I posted here but I might take the opportunity to browse through the ARCs available through GRR as I haven’t requested one in a while. Yesterday, I updated my banners so there’s nothing that needs doing there. And this cold means that I don’t particularly feel like trying to write some fiction – my brain has taken a vacation!
I think I might try to stay awake long enough to wake up Book_grim to go for my shopping then have an afternoon nap, try to stay awake this evening and spend some time with the girls. So weird to think that this time last week, they’d probably just popped their head around the curtain to say that someone from Theatre would be coming up to collect me. Bizarre to think that was only a week ago when it feels like I’ve been through so much since then.
I definitely want to try to get the bathroom deep cleaned before Christmas. The guy Book_grim hired to do the kitchen did such a brilliant job, it would be lovely to have that recreated elsewhere in the flat. So maybe I’ll have a tootle around AirTasker and see what prices people are offering for cleaning so that I can get a bargain but not be insulting.
I do have some Christmas wrapping to do, but not feeling up to all the movement required to get that done! I think Book_grim is doing Marmee’s present, I did Vee’s and Stripes is doing Shar’s. When I get my next payment on Tuesday, I’ll order the Oldest’s presents and then my Christmas shopping is pretty much all done. I don’t really do cards so job done. Yep, I think I deserve to snuggle down with my coffee and a book and doze until it’s time to do the next thing on my list.
