Things are coming along slowly after surgery. The first couple of days were a little painful, and I did my best not to use any vicodin, especially since it made me feel so sleepy. After the first couple of days I was going a little stir crazy, not doing anything, other than a little bit of walking around to go see Kris's dad. I don't think that I could ever be rich because sitting around all day doing nothing and having other people do stuff for you would drive me crazy. I did it for two days and I couldn't stand it.
As of today (Thursday) things are going pretty good. There is still some tenderness to the touch and the muscle feels tight where things were stitched up, so I'll have to just be careful not to try and do too much too quickly. I think that I will be able to feel if I am overdoing it. I am ready to head back to work, but I have to wait until I see the doctor next week. I shouldn't have said anything about it, and I could be going back to work tomorrow.

The Next Step
I went into work this morning to get a few things done since I was off almost the entire week. I don't like having people cover for me because then when I come back, I am completely lost. So I was able to get a few things done and got home in time to help Kris do the cleaning around the house.
Sarah had an overnight scheduled for girl scouts this weekend too. It was their reward for doing their multimedia project that they presented last weekend. They are going to be overnighting at some camp out in Elkhorn and doing some ceramic painting, or something like that. I think Ali is happy that she gets a night alone, and I am sure Sarah is happy having a night away from her parents to spend with her friends.
After Sarah left we went over to Kris's dad's. Her brother had taken him over to his house for dinner which allowed us to take some things that we were going to need to tie up all the loose ends from her mom's passing. We thought it best to do when he was gone since Kris had given her aunt a vase that was her mom's and her dad shot her the dirtiest look when she did it. So this way he wouldn't get agitated. While we were there too, Alison and I got together her dad's pills set up for the next week. As we were doing it, we came across a bunch of her mom's medicine, rescue inhalers and the like for her COPD, all unopened. Hopefully we can donate them to the Community Outreach Health Clinic. It was really sort of sad coming across all that stuff.
