Yesterday, Tuesday, I felt worse than I have the whole time since the surgery. I had little pain when not moving from the get go. They ask you on a scale of 1 to 10 and I was like a 2 in bed and a 9 when trying to get in or out of bed. I hear now I would have gotten more morphine if I had just said I was in oh so much pain. :)

Welp yesterday morning when I got up I had terrible cramps and everything ached. All day I felt like shit. Finally around 4 I took my temperature and I had a small one. 100.4 Not much but my body temperature is normally around 97 ish so it is a little high for me. I called the doc. She ordered me Cipro. Michael went and got it along with my prozac and xanax refills. Aren't I just the very merry model of a mentally healthy mo ...th ...er.

Anyhoo. I felt better pretty quickly and then the fever broke. I felt great. But then last night I was having gas/cramps all night so I took a nap this morning. And this was after coffee. (well my version of 80% decaf but that usually is enough to wire me for the day.)

I woke up in tremendous, yell out loud pain. I had to pee. And I couldn't get up off the sofa. No bending at the waist. f...k. so I did what I had to do and let's just say I have some laundry to do.

I really feel this pressure/pain is from my bladder sling. It is the same kind of pressure I had when I first got it. Thing is there are less organs to be leaning on my bladder but I guess it is all part of this healing process. Needless to say I am getting really antsy.

I also think the infection is related to the catheter because my incision looks fine. Well. Not fine but ...

oh well. hopefully tomorrow after a couple of doses of Cipro I will feel a lot, lot better.

And so it goes ...
