Miss Michigan,

Third day- possibly the worst yet. That's how it is with anything, the third day is the worst. Even after my little lap tubal, I couldn't even drive, my muscles hurt so bad. I tried to drive myself to the store to get some milk. To stretch my legs out and accelerate and brake caused my abdominal muscles to protest.

Just don't pick anything up because you will hurt yourself. Try not to bend over very much. Can you pick things up with your toes? Toss them into the air and catch em? :O There is probably silly string all over the floor. And Hershey Kisses wrappers because I am betting the kids got into them and balled the little foil up!

Did they tell you to expect to feel bloated? That air would get in there and cause discomfort on your right side?? What a word- discomfort- That's a lie word. The air puts pressure on everything and hurts like hell. I felt it in both shoulders, for crying out loud.

Be nice to yourself. Don't bend over and be very very careful.

You are probably just tired. Period. I'm ok. I got up this morning to clean every little thing- kincknacks, etc and shampoo my carpets, because they are black dirty from the mud, and my aunt is coming to bring me some cabinets tomorrow. I did this all morning, and when I finally got in the shower and pulled the shower curtain across? It fell. On me.

Then about noon, I learned that there is more family coming down than anticipated, so! I might get the overflow. Now, I am going to have to shampoo the carpets in the spare room and my bedroom as well. When I went to the stoopid WalMart, I bought enough groceries to feed an army. And rugs to cover the dirt on the carpets. They might be here tonight!!

But- other than that, I feel ok. I still need to wipe out my fridges and dust. I f**kin hate housework.
