Day 8 (Saturday) - Good morning!

View from my bedroom window

It's going to be a beautiful autumn day which will be a boost of energy. The rain clouds are already dispersing and sun trying to come out, and temperatures might reach 72F/22C.

The perfect day to go into town and dance on the streets of Boston with my sister! (plug for the day) My energetic task for the day will be to decorate our front yard for Halloween.

In recovery news:

I'm still feeling better today, now that I'm up. But I went no-Percocet last night for the first time and didn't sleep well.

My doctor had said the drug would primarily help at night when I rolled around in my sleep, and she was spot on. From around 3am on, it was very uncomfortable every time I changed position, which made me change positions all the more.

That said, I was reviewing my 'home instructions' this morning, from the hospital, and I have been right on track with the things to expect.

I experienced everything on this list, and in all cases the pain/whatever stopped within the time frame stated. Bleeding from surgery even stopped within 3 days -- Go robot cutting precision! And go me!
