Recovery update

I’ve had an interesting couple of days; blob’s been ok but he was particularly windy yesterday and last night, and today the stomach cramps have increased so that I’m taking codeine as well as paracetamol to try and numb it (it’s not working that well though). I know it’s still early days but I thought the pain would be pretty low at this point.

Food-wise, I’m trying to have breakfast everyday (which isn’t something I usually do) and snack between meals to try and get my stomach and gut used to processing food again. I’ve also lost some weight since my surgery (just under a stone) so, although I don’t need to put any on as I’m just borderline ok for my demographic, but I wouldn’t mind putting a little bit back on so I don’t look underweight.

I am sleeping better, which is always a bonus, so I don’t feel like I need to have a mid-afternoon nap anymore, but I’m still very tired and I get worn out after doing simple tasks like putting some clothes away or putting something into the oven for dinner. I know it’ll take some time to build my strength back up though so I am trying to take it easy.

Just a little update…

I’m feeling a bit better now; my brain fog has almost all gone and my pain is very low. My mouth is still ridiculously dry but then I’m still not really allowed to consume anything aside from sips of water and the occasional sweet. I hope a good night’s sleep tonight will improve all this so I can keep feeling better.

Update for Wednesday

Had a somewhat productive day so far; sorted out my doctors appointment, picked up stuff for dinner on Friday (I’ve got a friend coming round who I haven’t seen in ages), and I’ve even done a few design sketches for my next cosplay idea for London Comic Con in May.

My legs were pretty tired after walking to and from the doctors, but I’m relaxing now, watching Supernatural season 10, and playing on my tablet. I’m feeling a lot better today, even though I didn’t sleep well last night. Bathroom breaks are still quite frequent but not as daunting as they were a week ago. I seem to be regaining my appetite little by little too but I’m still struggling to regain the weight I lost. Thank goodness for Fortisip drinks; I’m only having one per day, because I don’t want to become reliant on them, but they help towards my daily calories which I can’t do with food alone at the moment.
