Chapter 16

Dear Diary,

Today is freakin rough. I’ve been bombarded by lots of love and am constantly getting deliveries. I love everyone for thinking of me. Emotionally I feel great.

Physically I’ve had one source of pain since Monday night and I can’t seem to make it to go away. I can’t tell what the source is, if it’s the drain pushing, the tegaderm on the drain pulling…I have no fucking clue but it fucking hurts. My only solace is an ice pack but even that isn’t really helpful. When the surgical center called me earlier to check in I mentioned it and they said it seemed normal. So idk….but maybe it is normal but damn it sucks. My chest feels heavy but that’s expected because the foobs are heavy.

One of the important tasks was to make sure I had a bowel movement…well that’s happened a couple times and I needed help. To make matters even worse my period started….I’m officially a hot mess. I’m a shitty patient so I’m very thankful that both Jimmy and my mom are patient with me because I’m annoyed af and I’m lashing out at them. I don’t mean to but it’s happening.

Being in pain and feeling frustrating with simple things is something I don’t recommend to anyone. If you’ve tried to reach out I’m going to try to reply today. I’m just exhausted today. G
