Blessed sleep, in your OWN bed- there is nothing like it!

Well.... I did not actually sleep deeply, and I felt it the next day: insufficient energy.

I have not been totally accurate in posting about the scar tissue that is going to be problematic for several more months. There are bands of it (along lines of incisions), and big lumps of it (where abscesses/gappy pockets were).

It variously feels like overly-tight seatbelts I cannot take off, barbed wired lacing, a hot iron bar running me through, a cinderblock between belly and bed or hip and bed.....

Then there are the miscellaneous sharp pains from time to time in places where they have not been, that may be from benign causes (increased activity for example) or from new complications brewing.... as the day goes on these daily "adventures" become quite wearing and I get pretty.... well, "crabby" is an understatement... sometimes walking helps.... sometimes I just do not have the energy left for that...

This is a daily, ongoing part of healing from this surgery and from the way the damn doctor messed me up.


It IS good for my prayer life though. :~) And hopefully y'all have been and will keep praying for this to soften, strengthen, and heal. And/or that I will learn "saintly" cheeerfulness-- I am working on that too.
