Another day. Still feeling about the same. All in all, it is not too bad. Though the body definitely doesn’t like being sliced up. Kitties still enjoying my recovery. At one point today I had one laying on each side of me. They can kind of be bed hogs, but I am happy to have them keeping me company. Here is a picture of the little dude.

Another day of resting. It turns out the kitties make really good recovery buddies. They seem to enjoy the fact that I am spending a lot of time in bed. Probably wondering why I don’t always do this (I don’t think kitties know much about things like bills and needing jobs to pay them, not to mention to buy them kitty food). I managed to snap a picture of my recovery buddies today.

The day after my surgery. It went well. It was an outpatient procedure, so I got home yesterday afternoon. The procedure went well and I didn’t get sick from the anesthesia or anything like that. The old pain I was feeling seems to be gone. I can cough/clear my throat without feeling shooting pain through my body. That is good. I have some soreness at the incision site, to be expected. I have been icing it and have pills to deal with any pain. Hard to find a comfortable position though. I received some beautiful photos today from my mom, dad and brother. I was able to take a picture of them today.

Today is the big day. The day of my back surgery. I decided to take a picture this morning so I would be all caught up with photo of the day. I have never had surgery, but I cant imagine I will feel like doing it later. Hopefully all goes well and my recovery is quick. Don’t want to miss too much of photo of the day! A picture of my girl Nutty.

Tomorrow is my surgery. I am starting to get a bit nervous, though all my wonderful friends and family assure me everything will go fine. I am starting to imagine what life will be like being free of this pain I have been in for almost three months. I can barely remember it seems. I will focus on that. I can’t eat anything after midnight tonight. After that, I can only have a small amount of clear liquid until 5am, and then nothing until after my surgery. Today, I took a picture of some glitter eye shadow that Santa gave me this year. I got glitter all over my hand (and everything I touch, including my camera), but I was happy with the shot I got.
