Little update

I'm blogging because it takes my mind off the pain...it feels like someone ripped my ear off and then tried to staple it back on. That's what I get, I guess, for having nice young tight skin! (Except for around my eyes...crows feet starting already!) My nose doesn't hurt, except when I eat, or talk...or breathe...or sit still, LOL. If I wasn't nursing, Darvocet would be my middle name right now! Tylenol just isn't cutting it. Ah well, it will be bedtime soon and hopefully if I sit still long enough I'll forget about the throbbing and fall asleep. Apparently all those people who had some skin cancer removed did not go through THIS, because they all said it was no big deal. I can give birth without drugs, and this is a big deal! LOL

The girls are going to love it. I can't talk much so I can't yell, and I've decided to think only happy healing thoughts for the next 2 months so this skin graft will take well. Anxiety and tension are bad for healing. So no crabbing, no criticizing, no getting angry at them - nothing they could do (or would do) is worth having to go through this again! LOL

I want to publicly thank St. DH for doing so much for the baby right now, I could not be going through this without him!

I'm off to watch Heidi with the girls, the one with Shirley Temple (is there another?) Let's see if it makes the pain better or worse. ;-)
