I can't believe it has already been a week since the surgery. It was one of the most miserable moments in my life. I went in at 9 Wednesday morning and was home around 11 after getting a couple movies. I even called my parents on the way home and told them I was okay. Then a couple hours later around 2:30, I was in the worst pain. My right side was aching and throbbing. All I could do was cry. My prescription had said to only take one pill every 4-6 hours, so I was afraid to take another one. I finally called the doctor and she told me to take 2 more and then ibuprofen two hours after that. I felt much better once those pain killers kicked in. I was able to take a nice long nap. For dinner I had a milkshake and mashed potatoes. I continued to eat soft foods for about a week. I'm just starting to chew again and my mouth is still aching. I can't wait to recover fully in another couple weeks. I am just annoyed with all the aching and hurting. I was so thankful that Charley was home to baby me. I felt like a queen! I had to go back to work 2 days after the surgery. I looked like a chipmunk... The girls even made me a sticker to put over my name tag that said, "just call me chip!" I'm very glad that's over with.
