Good mornightvening, everybody. As you probably don't know, I had surgery a few days ago. Don't worry, it wasn't for anything life-threatening. Just a huge infected area of my posterior region. Now that the affected area is gone and sealed up, things have become difficult for me. I am bound to my bed more than I was before and I can't do my yoga exercises anymore (yeah, right, like I do yoga (shut up, other me!)) because I could end up ripping my sutures out. That's not that bad, I can deal with that.
The thing that is bothering me the most is this stupid thing they have attached to my area. It's a tube that drains out the fluid buildup inside the wound with a little container at the end. This thing, which I have begun referring to as my tail, usually just lays beside me in bed. But when I get up, to use the facilities or escape from fire-breathing tornadoes, I have to be especially mindful that I don't rip the stupid thing out! This thing is actually the cause of the most pain I have had from this.
Accompanying all of this, is a pain that shouldn't even be happening. Completely unrelated to the surgery (I hope), after a short time of lying on one side, my legs begin to hurt and not just a little. It's almost excruciating. It gets so bad that I have to move them and hope that I don't move them too much and damage my bottom. Also, (I'm not sure if this is related but it probably is) I am having a hard time moving and lifting my legs, to the point where I have started thinking of them as cars. Because that's how much they seem to weigh.
Although it does suck, a lot, the pain is not as bad as I was expecting so that's a good thing I guess. Another good thing is, when this is all over, I can finally, at long last, move on with my life.
