Today waking was nice. Actually got some real sleep even though sitting up, more or less, rather than lying down. Nice meaning did not have to think about going to surgery or what can happen... already did that!
Had a slight pain in chest during night, a tightness, and now that am up and moving think it is just the gas moving around inside. The pain drugs really plug one up and the laxatives are only just starting. Whew, next two days will be SO body conscious. that gets tiring itself....
It is a real spring morning here, rain coming down and rather chilly. This is the April weather the northeast USA sings about, makes the flowers and all the green green green later on in year. I do love seeing it yet glad I can be inside looking out. hmmm, was a year ago, I took the picture of the bottles in the window in rain, wow, another year.
Watched the movie UP last night with my friend who brought me dahl and rice for dinner. Great thought and good food but it was a bit too spicy for my system right now I found. I am so bland and plain in most of my food tastes, plus having to chew on seeds and pieces of little herb sticks just turns me off. I do like powdered herbs and spices better! They even left the bay leaf in the dahl. ugh... anyhow took all sticks and stones out of soup, added the nice basmati rice and had a feast.
The movie was, maybe not fun, as one would think an animated movie for children would be, but it IS a disney movie, so go figure. Bambi's mother always has to die... However, once we got over the emotional crisis of death in family and possibile failure of some dreams, I did enjoy the movie a lot. The adventure of following the dream no matter what... Actually, since my friend left it here, perhaps I will watch again today even. Normally do not watch movies more than once, but since am stuck inside and can't mail back for a day, the artwork is just wonderful in this movie. I do love the way disney artists enlarge or shorten and change characteristics in their animated actors - colors were mellow in this one. liked the hues better than most their movies. HATE that they made it so one can not go to specific scenes but has to scroll through if movie gets stuck or you want to find something in particular. HATE that you could not fast forward through other movie clips. THEY are getting too much control over the actual watching a movie again ;-)
Today will be the first real restful day I expect. Not going anywhere. Can sleep, eat or sit as much as I want! Talking on phone and playing in Farmville, perhaps playing at a little arts and craft. Not sure about that one yet. I mean I do feel good physically really, compared to what I could, but am tired. Hard to keep the mind from feeling guilty on not doing anything when home and healing, yet hard to concentrate on anything. This one is a tad harder as not feeling physically in pain or bad as much as knee replacement was three months ago. Mind keeps telling me I "should" do this or that - as usual.
Forget that I am on drugs too. This is hydrocodone. Have not looked it up as yet but know it is some kind of strong one - heroin or morphine type based. is causing some little itching and seeing of little bits of things here and there that are not there! Funny how these type of drugs do not make me feel like I am DRUGGED but then little things that happen, see, or feel make me realize, wow, am stoned more than I know! good they don't let me drive....
