dec5 day 2 post op

didn't sleep as well last night, but didn't take a benadryl either. Able to reach 3500 on my IS, still well and above my predicted, and what I was doing pre=op. Cough at deep inspiration. If there is any production, it is not worth mentioning. Mostly I'm having itching issues and the surgical wrap is TIGHT and restrictive. I want to see what is underneath, but no way can mary and I get this back on, and it needs to be on. A little concerned with what may be under the wrap, but it doesn't hurt, doesn't smell (that I can tell) and certainly isn't draining. The faint blood stain mary marked yesterday is same.... so..................

tomorrow I see the doc. I'll take along a new sports bra, just in case.... but I expect to be re-wrapped and to see how the surgical wrap is applied. Hopefully mary and I can do it ourselves.

I do feel better than last night. The high red in my cheeks is diminished. Walking is not an issue for me, no dizziness or syncopal episodes. We'll see how things go.

I'm just trying not to be too demanding, and to be sure mary is getting enough rest, as she is taking care of ME. And her health issues are important too. This is as much as I've seen her up in a long time. Ate a lot of food too... not normal for her. But again, she is taking care of ME and is taking that job seriously. I am concerned for us both. enough said. there is no help coming from any other quarter, but if we needed it, I think we could get SOME help........

enough for now getting tired. nap time.
