I'm on the mend.  1st time yesterday I felt like getting dressed and out of my nightgown.  I was tired all day.  Had the dreaded 1st bowel movement Saturday and spent 2 hours between my bed and the bathroom.  Of course, more time in the bathroom.  But hey I lost 3 pounds.  LOL!

Today I need to back off the Motrin.  I was to take it 4 days straight every 8 hours, than just as needed.  This is 800 mg, it's ibuprofen. I have some here that is 200 mg, so I'm just going to go to that, as needed.

Let me tell you a funny story.  Day after I came home from surgery, my husband was asleep on the couch, so I took the phone with me into the bathroom.  Perched it on the sink.  I must have had a allergic reaction to something in the hospital, cause my face was fire engine red. I have a problem with a little redness and use Aveeno calming creme. So I reach over to get it above the tiolet and knock the phone over.  I said please GOD don't let it go into the tiolet. A couple of months ago I did that with the old phone set and ended up buying this one. He heard my prayer and it hit the trashcan and bounced onto the floor. The battery back popped open. I shut that and it still worked.  Well I was waiting for someone to come to my rescue.  Woman home from surgery, need to check and make sure she's alright.  Silence!  When I came out of the bathroom, I checked my son's room which is right beside the bathroom.  He had his headset on.  Went downstairs, hubby still asleep. So I sit down and reach for something beside the lamp on my end table and knock the remote over.  We have hardwood floors and that woke my husband up.  I told him my dilemma upstairs and he just shook his head.
