Monday was the surgery. I was a hot mess pre-surgery. I don't know if it was nerves, or lack of food, or no coffee, but I was so sick I was incoherent. Thank goodness for Jane who dealt with me the whole time and even held the bucket when I got sick. Once again the staff was superlative at Northern Westchester and the care I received was phenomenal.
Poor Marco had his dad having surgery in one hospital in the morning and me having it at another in the early evening. It made for a l-o-n-g day for him.
Yesterday, I was rather pitiful due to the pain. Once I understood I could take two Percocet I was much better. I was the elevating, ice queen, med taking, expert.
At 9:30 last night I fell asleep on my love seat - arm elevated, wrapped in ice and I had a solid two hours of sleep. It was the best sleep I had in days. I went up to bed, took my meds and slept through until 4:30 this morning! THAT felt like a victory.

Yesterday, I said, "Ciao bambini!" as my kids are both off to Italy with friends from school, a few beloved teachers and plenty of parents. I received an iMessage from Peter that they were enjoying lunch in Italy a little while ago.
Today I feel MUCH, much better! I had a decent night's sleep. I stayed on top of the pain. I am going to shower. I am going to get my hair washed.
My dear friend Claire dropped off a homemade Stromboli and is keeping me company while writing the payroll checks. I have THE best friends!

I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
