Oh, the Torture!
I'm amazed that I had open heart surgery almost two weeks ago, and I'm feeling pretty good.
RobbieMax got a new computer yesterday. It's a really nice laptop, and the best thing about it is that it will support the ipod software we have! Did I tell y'all that he got me an ipod for Mother's Day? Well, he did but our computer was too old to support the software. So I haven't been able to use it yet.
Another nice thing about this computer is that it's got a high def widescreen computer screen and that's really cool.
Okay - so I decided to write about something that's particularly torturous for me today. Itching. Yep, you read that correctly - itching. My incisions are healing, and that means they itch. I can't scratch them. It's like I'm standing in a choir concert and I have the most horrible itch on my nose but I can't scratch it (and any of you who were ever in choir in high school or college know this sometimes inhumane rule).
So anyways, I itch. I hate it when I can't scratch an itch. I don't want to scratch anything open, so I've just been trying to ignore it. But it's been difficult.
On another note, I slept really well last night. I fell asleep on the futon around 10 and RobbieMax woke me up to head to bed at about 12. Then I took my painkillers, brushed my teeth, and swished and swollowed that icky medicine (that's done tomorrow - hooray!), and went to bed. I woke up a few times, but slept until 7:48 this morning. This is the latest I've been able to sleep since I had this surgery! And I am NOT a morning person, so the later I'm able to sleep the happier I am.
Well, I can't really think of anything else to write, so I'm going to sign off. Have a great night everyone!

Julia,
I was NOT able to sleep in after my surgery either... I was like what the heck is this early morning stuff... I am a NIGHT OWL! And even now - two years later - I think there have been only a few occasions that I have slept past 9:00. And I am still up til 11-12 every night. Granted now with a pup, I get up around 6 to let her out but then head back to bed for a while longer.
My new job in September I will have to be there at 7:45, so I guess this isn't a horrible thing that I don't sleep all day like I used to prior to my surgery!
