Had my surgery on 9/18!!! And feeling shockingly good so far on pain/discomfort scale so (knock on wood) I'll be able to stick w just taking otc extra strength Tylenol instead of the RX painkiller bc I hate the side effects from those xP (dizzy, nausea, constipation lol)

Drains are icky but not as bad as I thought they'd be so they haven't bothered me so far :0 I think the worst sensation stuff has been the PRESSURE from the post-op vest & what is undoubtedly a fair bit of swelling beneath lol also I haaaaate sleeping on my back, and I must exclusively sleep on my back and elevated for like 2-3 weeks :'3 will see if dr okays me to at least lie flat after my 1-week on the 25th (hoping that the drains will be good to come out then, too)

Just been Very Very Tired at random bursts lol so trying to let myself nap or at least recline n close my eyes when the exhaustion hits me xP feels v weird and I always feel kinda GUILTY doing. Absolutely nothing lol;;;;; Bf is working from home w me through next Wednesday to take my to my post-op so I feel esp bad just. Lying about while he's working. Despite it being entirely reasonable, expected, and advised by the doctors LMAO

Out running some light errands w my bf today tho!! Nice to be outside n moving about (albeit v slowly lol) tho I won't be able to help w carrying any but the lightest groceries :'V hoping if my energy levels r a bit more stable today I can finally draw or do smth artsy!! (ง •̀_•́)ง
