Slept well but having a bad day physically and (therefore also) emotionally.

Nothing feels quite right. It's not pain, but it's discomfort and it's achey and it doesn't really stop. If I'm on my back, my spine hurts. If I'm on my side, the stitches feel stretched. And I'm still tired and vaguely headachey. Although apparently the anti-inflammatory I'm taking can produce headaches. And, unfortunately, while taking that anti-inf, I can't take more than one panadol a day.

More water please!

Lay in bed until around 11:30am, with a couple of ups for food, meds, and water. Went outside for a while, read a couple of messages from friends checking in and offering help, watched a video sent by my SIL and nephlet wishing me well and got a little teary. Checked my socials, including journal replies - thanks, guys, for the advice and tips and encouragement! Just came in and read FB comments - I put an update up to let people know that I'm home and I'm okay (and that the cats are grumpy that they can't sit on my belly), and, again, heartened by the likes and comments, including some people that I haven't seen or spoken to for a while.

Interestingly, one is a young man who went to my church who I worked with, encouraged a little, and who only keeps on 'the OldsBook' because his mum and dad are there - his mum is same age as me - and he occasionally turns up in the likes of my posts, which is both sweet and a little unnerving. He doesn't mean anything by it but an 'I see you, hi, and I hope things are going well' but it still feels somewhat...strange.

I'm really running out of juice fast today. Really just got on to put my timesheet in so I get paid for the last two weeks of work. So I'm going to finish this post, post the private post about bodily feelings so I have a record of it, and maybe go back to bed. B1 is home from her morning work and appointments, so we'll chat a little before she goes off to evening work. Tuesday is her busy day, and usually it's a busy day for me, too, but today it's just...exhausting.

Rest well, and I hope you heal quickly!

Not too long to wait until you can go back to doing all you do and how it doesn't exhaust you is beyond me...LOL Wishing you a speedy recovery.
