Day One Hundred Thirty One - Recovery Day 4


I feel pretty good today! My incision is looking really good. You can just see the staples and that's it. I think I'll heal up pretty nice. I go outside with Lisa when she waters the trees but today we didn't do that because yesterday and last night, it rained like crazy!! I mean it was pouring, that was Awesome! I really loved that. Smelling the rain and hearing it pour outside, that really made my healing process all the more better.

I took it easy most the day. I'm still having trouble getting up on my own. Lisa, my mom and my brother have been helping me just to get off the couch, sit down and everything. It's tough, but I can finally go to the bathroom on my own now. I don't need help, though it does take me a while. It hurts to move my stomach around so even just to shift from left to right, I can't do that. I also can't turn to my side when I'm laying down so every night since surgery, I've been laying flat on my back. It's ok, but it does wear on me after a while. I love to sleep on my side at night. I'm just glad I don't move around, that wouldn't be good for me.

So I was wanting to go to church this morning, but I don't think I can ride in vehicles just yet. My stomach hurts too much and my truck is kinda high off the ground. I don't think I'd be able to lift myself up into the passenger side to ride. I'm going to try driving by next weekend, but not if I'm taking my pain meds.

Mom brought over Navajo tacos today. She didn't want to cook here because we don't have our gas on, so she has to cook in Lisa's electric skillets and stuff. She doesn't like to cook in just that, so she decided to make the Navajo tacos at her house, then bring them over here. That was so nice and even though I'm not too much into Navajo tacos, she made them excellent and I loved them! It was so nice to just hang out with her afterwards and just watch movies.

My healing is coming along. I can move around great now, but still need help getting up off the couch and laying down. It's a slow process still, but I know I can get thru it ;)

Day Two Hundred Thirty Three

Did 3 miles this morning again! Feels great. My feet don't hurt. I mean, I'll feel it but it's not painful like when I first started walking after recovery. They hurt so bad after I sat down a while. That was crazy! So now, I feel great and things are much better. Also my right knee hasn't been feeling crappy in a while now. I feel great! I want to start using the Bowflex and getting back to DDP yoga so bad, but I am so afraid. You know, my recovery took longer than expected. I have said this whole time that my recovery ended the last day in October. Well that was not true! Ya that's when the doctor told me that my recovery was over, but that's not when I was feeling better because to this day, I still feel a really weird and sensitive feeling right where my incision was. I mean, it sometimes hurts, like if I lay on my stomach for a while, then roll over to get up. I really feel it and it doesn't feel good. Simetimes it scares me, like I feel like the herni

Day Two Hundred Thirty Five

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS WAS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!!!!! Omgosh that movie was so good and so sad :'( I'm serious, I was really trying to hold back tears on that one scene. Dang that movie was really good. I think the better than that entire prequel trilogy. I'm looking forward to the next one. Dang we only got a couple hours sleep last night. Lisa and I didn't end up going to bed until almost 2am. Then we had to get up at 5 and meet my family at Dennys at 6am. We actually got there before they did haha. But it was fun! We had some great conversation and laughs at breakfast this morning. Then afterwards, we headed to the Allen 8 theater. We got there just about 7am. The ppl were already lining up. We had to stay outside in the cold for an entire hour. My mom and brother were freezing lol. It was fun though. My dad saw all this work buddies. It was cool seeing him interact with all his friends. Everyone knew him and my mom. Very cool. We had a great time, even thoug

TODAY I GOT A NEW CAR

On Friday night (1.15.2016), my truck died on me :'( Timing belt broke! In other words, dead in the water. That was my Only vehicle and at the time I was looking for work and my best pal, Skye, is starting Nursing School the following Monday. She uses my truck so she was very worried and angry. I told her we needed to be thankful that my old truck lasted all that time and got her to her last day of work. Now me, I was not worried because I knew God was always there. I was scared, however, because of everything especially on Saturday morning when I woke up. So I went out into the field by my place and I prayed. I said to God how thankful I was for His many blessings. I thanked Him for my truck and the time that I had it. Then, I asked Him to please help me in my situation. I put my trust in Him as I always do. That was Saturday morning (1.16.16). Saturday night (1.16.16), my mom called me and asked me to come over to their place. When I did, they talked with me for a bit about a
