Back to work!

Alright, we are playing race against the clock...and by clock I mean my pain pill.  Cuz I just took one.  And they make me sleepy.

My post-op appointment is tomorrow and today is my official one week mark!  The twins are one week old!!!  Ok yeah, gag me with a spoon.  That was horrible.  I will not do that again...

Anyway.....

I went back to work yesterday and was able to survive until about 3:00 before I headed home.  I will admit, I was very slow, but I was there and I was (mostly) productive.  And I was able to survive on only Tylenol.  Woot woot!!  The pain and discomfort I felt yesterday was mostly just soreness -- think after workout muscle soreness...but an intense workout - last chance workout!!

I need to get caught up on Biggest Loser....Ok, back on track.

I tried for all day today, but went home about 3:00 again.  I felt fabulous this morning.  I really thought I would be able to work all day, but after a couple hours I felt my whole chest tightening up.  It didn't hurt, just like a charlie horse -- without the pain.  It was mostly just annoying and made it difficult to move.

Tylenol pretty much did it for me today and yesterday, but tonight it didn't.  It's not ridiculous (so no one yell at me!!!!... Laura lol), I just decided to take half of a pain pill to hopefully dull the uncomfortableness (yes, that's a word) and get my chest muscles to relax.

Swelling is about the same since I updated last.  I need to take after pictures, but my husband is passed out on the couch next to me and I'm too lazy to get up for a picture.  BUT, maybe tomorrow after my doctor's appointment.  We'll see.

Ok, crazy post all over the place, but I did it.  I just wrote an 8 page paper and I'm kind of burnt out on writing...so................... G'nite!

Pics and a post-op appointment post to come tomorrow!!

  2. Curious...Are you able to receive massage? I know some chest/shoulder/neck techniques that may help.
