Recovery, day 6

So I approach the one week mark for my appendectomy. Yesterday I stopped taking painkillers altogether, because the Oxycodone was making me jumpy and strange. I had switched to Tylenol, then decided to find out exactly how much pain I was in. Answer: about as much as I was on drugs. So I am riding this one out bareback.

My mother has been invaluable in helping unpack and organize the house for us while I healed and Heather worked/recovered from her ailment. Our friends have chipped in to move my belongings for me whilst I lounged on the couch! Hooray for friendship!

Now that the narcotics are gone, I have been able to renew my work and writing efforts. This provides me with a sense of relief. And now I am firmly ensconced in my love nest with my gal.
