Road to Recovery Part II

Nobody told me how long the road is, I'm recovering alright but I'm getting a little impatient. I don't know what else to do...

Anyway, I'm reading another book that I bought five years ago... A Hundred Years of Solitude, I hope I finish it this time.

A hurricane and a blizzard joined together to form the superstorm, I don't think anyone anyone has ever seen anything like it and as of the moment this superstorm is battering the east coast! Look at them waves, ferocious!

My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Road to Recovery (I think)

I experienced aches and pain on parts on my body I never thought I had. The pain is all on different levels; the first week I complained about the stitches, coughing and sneezing frightened me a whole lot, I thought the stitches will burst open. And then on the second week my guts felt weird. I felt  sharp, throbbing pain starting from my stomach down to my feet, Arcoxia became my best friend, I didn’t want to but it was unbearable really.

Things are better now; the only thing that’s killing me is boredom. I can’t move around and help out with some household chores not that I really like to but the thought of not being able to actually do anything is quite fearful.

I think I’ll gain weight because all I ever do is watch T.V., eat and read. Oh, I’ve finally finished reading “The Sun Also Rises” by Ernest Hemingway, I bought that book 4 years ago and I never had the time to read it so it’s quite an achievement. There was always something better to read. I’ve also done rereading “The Perks of Being A Wallflower” and “Catcher in the Rye.” I really should stop rereading books when I still got a pile of books waiting. 

I guess it’s bye for now I really need to lie down as in right this second.

*stay healthy folks, very important*

One Day

Recuperating from exploratory laparotomy and watching One Day is not a good combination... made me cry from start to finish... why does she have to die?! Why?! My husband asked me what what was wrong so I told the stitches hurt so bad, my back was killing me, it hurt when I cough... it was all true by the way, I just didn't tell him that a certain movie made me cry. He'll probably laugh at me.

I got home last night from the hospital, got bored, so I watched One Day, again. What a sad, sad movie it was, I'm not sure now if I like it anymore. The only thing that I appreciated from the movie version was the fact they didn't include the time in Emma's life when she got involved with her headmaster. Poor Emma.

However, the book is lovely, it was funny and moving. It was about friendship, it's about finding love and losing it, it's about making bad and good choices, it's about finding happiness and losing it. It's about life and death. What a sad book...

*stay healthy everyone, stop eating processed foods, i mean it!*

Life Lesson

I learned something today that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Not even the most soothing music or your most favourite song will ever take your mind off the pain from the stitches caused by an operation... true! I tried listening to What If This Storm Ends by Snow Patrol, didn't work, I even listened to Rains in L.A., come on, who did not bob their heads or tap their feet to this song? It has an instant feel good groove rhythm quality although the lyrics says otherwise, anyway, it did work either.

So there.

*ouch*

Back (in the meantime)

Spent all my afternoon up until early in the evening in the hospital, lab works, x-rays, etc., prepping for my operation next week. I'll be admitted on the 10th of October then operation the next day, might be confined 'til Sunday, God be willing, of course. I'm so stressed, so scared and above all else I'll miss my kids!

Somehow I've forgotten all the things I want to actually write.

*mental note to self: do not write entire blog in my head, write it down on a piece of paper right away! sigh.*

Away

Been away for too long, been busy lately... had a lot talk about, I've written them in my head but somehow it's all forgotten now. All I can remember is that a friend of mine died a couple of weeks ago... so sad indeed. Oh and it seems like there's no escaping from the knife this time... will go to the hospital later to schedule my operation... I'm so scared. Sshhh...

*love, peace and understanding, please!*
