One week post-op!

So... not daily updates for this one 😅😅

My biggest update for the day is that as of yesterday, my pain wasn't really getting any better at the end of the Oxy, and I pretty clearly have some decent abdominal swelling... so, I'm skipping the Tylenol altogether and taking Ibproufen every six hours instead. After 24 hours of steady anti-inflammatories in my system, I maybe, might actually take that shower today that I've noped out of since Monday thanks to the pain.

That's about it, really. I'm napping a lot, around 2pm I crash until dinner, and I still turn in for the night around 8-ish. I'm chatting with friends, and working on design and communication projects when I am awake.

I'm also consuming a LOT of fall fashion content, and getting excited to put pieces in my closet together. Summer used to be my favorite season, and my summer wardrobe used to be my favorite to wear... what happened? 😅😅 Rhetorical question - climate change, a spinal cord injury, perimenopause, and a significant body weight change happened.

But so did 2026 trends, which happen to fit my personal style perfectly. I haven't been this excited about dressing myself in a very long time, and I've always loved fashion. Which means, I'm also planning places to wear things, too... time to heal up, body, I've got things to do!

So... I'm having a much better time today than I was a week ago!
