Well doing nothing is easier said than done. I had forgotten just how hectic how a school morning can be, especially if despite yourself you insist on doing hair and being generally bossy, even if it is from your bed. Just how do I turn a lifetime's worth of control freakery off?
Mr Malaprop is looking after me very well and the kids are trying their best not to be too demanding.
Tonight is Halloween so the two smaller ones have just set off with friends to go trick or treating, Master Mal as the Grim Reaper and Miss Mal as a red devil. Rather enjoyed doing their make up. Might be biased but they looked fantastic.
Tomorrow it's back to the hospital to have the dressing changed, I sneaked a peek on day 3 after the op when the dressing was first changed and even then it looked great - no stitches on the outside, just steri strips. I'll ask the nurse to check my weird rash too. Noticed it the day after the transplant and thought it was from lying on my side during the operation, but it seems to be getting worse. Apart from that I'm feeling remarkably well. Bit tender of course, would be strange if I wasn't.
Did have an emotional moment this morning after the kids had gone to school. Little bit tearful. All very well convincing yourself before hand that you won't do anything and will just lie there recuperating but I had forgotten how hard that is once you return to real life.
Mr Propermal is now fully mobile and more or less tube free. I think he still has a fluid drip over night, I'll check when we go in tomorrow.
