The 4th Day Post-Op.

Today has been a struggle for Bobby.  Anytime someone is sick, or has an injury, or the like, there comes a point when you are just ready to be done with it all and feel better already.  Today has been that day for him.  He doesn't feel bad, he just doesn't feel good.  He says he feels like he has zero energy, and he just wants to sleep.  He wears himself out just going to the bathroom and back to the recliner.  He is opting to skip his shower tonight because he's just too tired. He has a very low grade fever, highest hitting 100.5 but he's had that since coming home from the hospital.  Most of the time, it's 99. I really think it's just his body trying to recoup.  They told him that was pretty normal, and he doesn't need to be concerned unless it hits 101.5 or higher.  Today is the first day he's asked for Tylenol though.  He hasn't taken any pain meds since coming home.  He doesn't like to side effects of them, and he really hasn't been in much pain.  Mostly just soreness, lack of energy, and stomach rumbling.  On the plus side, today he's been awesome with consuming more fluids and getting all the vitamins and meds in.  He is feeling a little overwhelmed at the new time schedule he will have to follow for quite some time.  He is constantly drinking, eating, or medicating, or consuming vitamins.  It's literally something every hour of the day, while constantly drinking. On top of it all, he's bored.  For several days he's done nothing but sit around most of the day.  TV, internet, and texting gets old after so long but he doesn't have the energy to do anything else.  Today is rough, but he does keep saying he knows it will get better soon. He just wishes soon, was now.
