Well I am STILL not feeling all too well. I have never had a surgical procedure before IN MY LIFE thankfully. Although I have and still do consider that a positive that I have been healthy enough in my short time here in this thing we call "life" to not require a need for a surgical procedure, the flip side is that my body is learning now how to recover from one and boy was I not aware of how this would make me feel !!!!

The pain is constant and there is no relief in site. The medication that the doctors provided to me helps a little bit however everyone keeps telling me that there is nothing that is going to take away all of the pain and that I am just going to have to accept and deal with it until I heal fully which is not going fast enough for me.

Given that I will be on bed rest for the foreseeable future the one productive thing that I CAN do is some school work as it is a VERY welcome diversion from watching television or surfing the net until my brain oozes out of my ears.

I am still adjusting to studying with the effect of some of these pain medications in my system as my comprehension and motor skills can be a bit impaired at times. This too is a foreign concept to me and my body. However I think I am starting to adjust so that I can read, comprehend and study at a good pace so that I can possibly get ahead of the pace and schedule for schooling completion that I was originally on.

AT least that is ONE positive that has come of all of this…..
