Today is the Feast of the Three Kings. Epiphany!
I have a nagging cough, that’s irritating enough because I have to hold my cough bear against my chest when I cough. And the persistent tickle in my throat is awful. I’m using Kanthil and sugar free cough drops. But I’m also keeping a glass of water nearby. If I start to talk too much, I definitely start to cough.
My back is much better today, I laid with a heating pad on my back for about an hour after I went to sleep last night. I put my compression socks on today and my left leg does feel pretty tight. But the socks don’t come all the way up to the incision and I’m hopeful that they help with the fluid. Cardiology NP told me it was OK to wear them as long as it doesn’t cover my leg incision.
I had a lot of nightmares again last night while I was sleeping, and I dozed off for about an hour nap this afternoon, and had weird nightmares and dreams as well.
I weigh the same as yesterday, which is still 20 pounds less than when I got home from the surgery.
