Big D sent us some amazing cupcakes to brighten our spirits this week. Lori picked them up and we all got to sample some delicious treats! We’ve rotated through the box all week, trying a new kind each night. Yummay!
The scarring is healing nicely and the bump fluxuates in size depending on the time of day and day of the week. Arnica Montana seems to keep the swelling a little less severe, but still does not get rid of the bumpage all together.
Wednesday we tried to get hubbs out of the house for some lunch. He’d been feeling really good and we thought we were up to some greatness when we got out of the car and found a head’s up penny in the parking lot. However, too much heat, sun, or allergens in the air made for a rough evening on Wednesday and a tough day today.
Last night Lori and I tried to lighten the mode with a GUACAMOLE THROWDOWN (Bobby Flay style) in honor of Cinco de Mayo. We gathered up our ingredients and began to chop, blend, and spice our way to some yummy looking guacamoles. We called husband in and asked him – ARE YOU READY FOR A THROWDOWN? He replied that he was, but it was a little lackluster. It was all he could muster. However, when he got to the table and saw what we had to offer he warmed up a bit. He played along and sampled each guacamole and posed for the camera. He gave us commentary on each guacamole and what he liked about each one and then selected “A” as the winner! It was Lori’s batch! We all enjoyed the Cinco de Mayo treat and called it an early night.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, and more sleep is all we’ve seen husband do since the sun came up this morning. He’s got me worried since he is not a big nap taker, and since he has not really slept any extra since the surgery occurred. I go into the bedroom every hour just to make sure he is still sleeping and check on him. He’s sawing logs.
When he got up this morning he said he felt disoriented, headachy, and a bit dizzy. Lori got him more caffeine in the form of a vanilla latte, and went to Whole Foods for more Arnica pills. He sat up in the bed for about an hour and was then sleeping again. Now he has a pillow over his head and the curtains drawn.
Migraine? Too much oxycodone? Side effects of the oxy can be headache and dizziness. I decided let’s remove the oxy from the equation for the rest of the day and just give him acetaminophen when it’s time for that pill batch. Let’s see if that helps any.
Helpless. Just makes you feel so helpless when someone you love is in pain and there is nothing you can do to assist. I’d do anything to make his pain stop and have him back to his happy old self. Hopefully we can get him feeling better here soon.
Finally, 4pm he woke! He seems to feel better than he has in a few days. Hopefully we’re on to something here!
