Saturday - hitting the wall!

Saturday morning I had tea, soup & fruit juice but then nothing all afternoon because I was feeling crappy from the Panadeine. I took my last Panadeine at 1pm on Saturday & then waited for it to wear off. It made me feel tired, sleepy & nauseous. Saturday was also a bad day mentally - I hit the wall on Saturday morning. I couldn't be bothered trying to eat since it takes so much effort & hurts a lot, plus I realised that its a long road to recovery & it's only just started. I was so tired & Mum was trying to encourage me to move around since that's supposed to help with the healing process, but I just wanted to sit & stare into space.

My brother & sister-in-law came to visit on Saturday afternoon with my 2 beautiful little nieces (4 & 2yo). They weren't too freaked out by me thankfully! It was tiring but made the afternoon go quite quickly & helped take my mind off feeling crap.

Once the Panadeine wore off on Saturday night I started feeling a lot better and I was so sick of liquid food that I REALLY wanted to try something more solid. I had a go at some soft chopped up pasta with tomato sauce. That really cheered me up & I stopped feeling nauseous so I was over my downer pretty quickly, despite still being in a lot of pain & swapping ice packs every hour or 2, plus struggling with very sore inner cheeks.

No pics from Saturday - I was feeling too sorry for myself :)
