Today has been rather tiring. I had to take a nap in the afternoon, but I have been out and about for Xavier’s hockey today. I started standing up and realized by the 3rd period that it was not going to work out if I stood up the whole time and then I sat down….
Yesterday I had my first full night of sleep in a while. I went to bed and slept right through and woke up at my regular time of 6am. I felt rested and for the most part much better. For the last week I have had to sleep flat on my back without moving much,…
Today was much better than yesterday and the day before. Over the course of the day while I worked I did not get too fatigued. Mel was not here to keep an eye on my eating, but she still texted me every now and then to make sure that I was eating. It seems now…

This is my fourth day home from the hospital and I am starting to feel better. I am still annoyed that there is so much that I still can not do. Everyone says that this is expected as I have had major surgery. That is true, but I do not have to like it. I…
