I am feeling SO much better... amazing what a few days can do. Went to the doctor on Tuesday and he said I'm healing beautifully. He also mentioned, his exact words were, "you will feel like a new girl in 4 weeks." Yeah! Doctor gave me some new pain meds and something for anxiety and said to take as needed. Mainly taking one of the pain meds before I go to sleep, and it's helping me sleep. It is so wonderful to wake up after sleeping the night thru and feel rested. I think I was so sleep deprived that it was making me looney. My home nurse stopped by yesterday and she mentioned I looked "great", and I about hugged her.
Besides sleeping better, I'm actually feeling a bit of my stamina returning. Last week, it was all I could do to sit up. Now I'm actually sitting up with out as much pain and am walking more each day. Getting out of bed or getting off the couch was an absolute chore. I felt like a rolly-polly trying to sit up. Now I'm able to get out of the bed or off the couch without much struggle. I know these things sound minor, but we forget how many things we take for granted.
That's fabulous, Jenny! I'm so happy that you're moving better and sleeping deeper. You're a trooper and I think of you often. It was great to hear your voice the other day! Here's a big HUG!

Jenny - Your such an inspiration to us all. I am so glad you are on the upside of this. It is so touching and such a lesson to me to see you go through all of these stages.
