Recovery (4 of 6)

Two days after surgery and I am tired. I am feeling toll this has all taken on my body. It was pushed physically and emotionally to such an extreme. I am just tired and for the first time in my life understanding and respecting the word "recovery."

I probably cat napped a half dozen times. But am enjoying the food here so much better than I thought. It it ordered like room service, so it kind of feels like a hotel stay. I could look out the window more.

I found out there was a patient ipad to use. I also found a cheese plate and grape juice on the menu. I would be ready for zoom bunco tonight.

Zoom bunco was one of the best things that could have landed on a day when I was in the hospital. A time to forget about real life for a minute. We laughed and drank and played our virtual version of bunco.

An hour or so of that wiped me out. I was so tired. But it took my mind off of missing my nephew's 6th birthday and the fact that I would be missing my mother in law's birthday the next day. Or how about the fact my best friend had her baby girl today!?Thank God for technology, so I dont miss out, but I really was still missing out. I think that's why virtual bunco felt so good - I was participating just as much as all of them, even if I was in a hospital.
