The day after....

 and my head has been hurting right in the between the eyes/forehead area since I got home yesterday from surgery.  And my throat is raw.  I'm hoping the coffee hubby just brought in will alleviate the headache, at least.  The tooth extraction site does not hurt at all.  At least not today.

I slept here in the other bedroom - and other than the headache being so bad (I can't remember when I had one this bad - even when I had a migraine!) and my throat so sore, I could have slept well.  I finally got up at 1:30AM and took one of the pain pills for my tooth.  It doesn't hurt, but my head is.  I had turned off all my alarms on my fitbit, hoping I could sleep late this morning, but finally gave up around 5:20AM and got up.  I was able to get some of my reading done before hubby woke up about 6AM and immediately started yelling at me because I forgot to take an antibotic last night before I went to bed.  I told him it wasn't a big deal - I'll start them this morning.  And I did.  But his yelling intensified my headache and now there is no return for it for awhile.  I plan to lay back down after my quiet time this morning; perhaps it will go away by then.  Not that I need the sleep; I slept most of the afternoon yesterday once I got home.  But I jsut want this intense pain to go away.

Yes, I took today off work, and I'm partially glad I did.  I could have worked, even with the headache, but since I have an 'excuse to stay secluded in this back room, I may just take advantage of it.  I don't need the TV when I have a good book, right?

The doctor's office did call to check on me yesterday afternoon, but I had turned my phone off and was asleep so didn't get the call.  I debated on calling them back, but didn't feel like it.  I may call them today, although they said they would call me on Monday to check.  I wonder if they are open today.  I just want to know why they didn't do all they said they would do.  They only removed the tooth root and added the bone graft to it, if I recall correctly what the assistant told me in the room as they woke me up.  I'm assuming they talked to hubby - but he doesn't always get everything so don't hold much value to what he says.  He gets it confused; his thoughts are how to 'protect' me from phone calls and 'let me rest'.... they aren't so much about my well being.... which includes phone calls and freedom.  Some women would love their man to hover over them like my hubby does.... I can't get it through his head that I dont' like it, nor do I need it.  I see it as control.  He sees it as helping me.  Lose -Lose situation.

and that's enough about me and my surgery.  I came through it ok; I have no idea when they will schedule the next stage.  Right now all I care about is my headache going away.

Friday.  The start of the weekend.  Nothing going on in this household.  I'm hoping by this afternoon I'll DO something - but more than likely will only be allowed to move to the couch.  Unless it is to cook hubby dinner.  He actually fixed himself a tv dinner last night - while I ate the pudding.  I have enough of it - and you know what - right now that even sounds good.  I'm not hungry at all.  But the pudding sure is good.

Oh yeah, I do have Needles of Hope tomorrow morning, but it will depend on this headache.  If it's gone, I will probably head over there.  I do enjoy getting with a few women for a few hours.   The blankets I've been making, I plan to give a few to the two that are now pregnant.    I figure about 3 each and then perhaps some soft cotton blankets would be good.  I'll go to Savers and get baby outfits when there is proof (and not guessing) of what sex it is.  Infacts go through outfits so quickly they don't wear out.  I'll buy a bunch for each one when I know what the sex is.  I'll do what I can to help them have for this baby.  It still just breaks my heart the circumstances.   

Well, my mind is blank this morning, due to the headache, I'm sure.  I just want to curl up and go back to sleep so think I just may do that.  Maybe tomorrow I'll have something good to share.

Hope you have a good day.

Blessings!
