Yesterday and today had a few firsts since being cut open.
- I left my apartment for the first time- I went and sat in my parents backyard for about 1/2 hr, even though it was a short period of time it lifted my mood a little. I think I’ll try to run some errands with my mom today. And by run I mean waddle, very slowly.
- I slept in my bed last night. For the past few nights I’ve been sleeping in the recliner because it is easier for me to get in and out of. I figured I’d be okay in the bed because Pat could help me get up in the morning, unfortunately, my bed is too comfortable and too cushy. I think I’ll wait another night or so before trying that again.
- I took a shower. I still feel like crap, but now I feel like clean crap.
- I’m about to drink a cup of coffee. I haven’t had any since Sunday and I thought I’d try a little- just to feel human. (I’ll let you know how it goes).
So what have I been doing if I’m not leaving my apartment, sleeping in my bed or drinking coffee?
I’ve been rotating ice packs like it’s my job.
Alex, I’ll share with you, but only because I’m starting to crave human interaction
Pat went to the video store for me on Sunday and rented a bunch of movies. I’m not a movie person, so when he asked me what I wanted to watch I had no idea. This is what I told him: “Anything girly, sappy, and that you wouldn’t want to watch”
This is what I got:
- Pretty In Pink
- Sister Act
- Sex and The City- The Movie
- Walk the Line
- Black Swan
- This Means War
- Miss Congeniality
- Ocean’s 12
- The Wedding Singer
- House- Season 4
He knows me so well.
My mom gave me a stack of books to read so my brain doesn’t turn to mush!
So with all of this extra time on my hands, I’ve learned that Kelly is looking for a new co-host. Anyone want to help me make a video entry? You think I’m joking, but I’m not.
Anyone have any suggestions for activities that don’t involve me moving from the couch and that I can fall asleep periodically while doing?

Pat did a great job on the DVDs. I approve.
You should learn a bunch of cat’s cradle tricks! Cup and saucer, Eiffel tower, Jacob’s ladder…
Also, you should probably invest in a tamagachi.
Why did I not get a Tamagachi!?!? I’ll start searching for one now.
“Pretty in Pink”!!! Since I’m old enough to be your mom (if I got knocked up in high school), I remember seeing this at the theater when it opened in 1986…the year I graduated!
I promise not to rub your belly…
Thank you Snappy. But honestly, if you did, you would get a swift slap across the face. No one comes near my belly right now.
Knitting. Just don’t use sharp needles in case you zonk out on one.
I’m not sure if I’m coordinated enough to knit, but maybe I’ll check out some youtube videos and see if my skills are comparable.
Very good movie selection! Pat gets my nod of approval. (Not that he was looking for it, but whatever, he now has it.) And, in addition to the tamagachi, you should totally hunt down an old school GameBoy on ebay (you know, the one with the monochrome screen?) and play Tetris
I think I have one of those somewhere…
You get to shower? Okay, I’m jealous of that. Ocean’s 12 is a chick flick? That, I wouldn’t have guessed. I haven’t been watching movies yet. My MIL is here. She’s very sweet, but I’m still feeling as though I’m ready to have the house to myself. She goes home tomorrow morning.
I actually didn’t watch Ocean’s 12 before they had to be returned, but I’m not sure. I do Love Ocean’s 11 though. I love me some George. I’m sorry for your lack of showering, I know that I was excited to be able to, but at the same time it was not a pleasant feeling.
Can we share those gummy bears? I am glad you are on your way to recovery!
Okay, I guess, but I don’t have to be nice about it.
