DAY TWO

Fr 5/20/16

Didn't sleep until 230am this morning. Finished WHILE I WAS GONE by Sue Miller and began NICKEL AND DIMED: On (Not) Getting Along in America. Read from about six till two thirty.
Peeing situation weighed heavily on my mind.

Could only sleep on left side and back. Early in the morning I could handle sleeping on the right side.

Up 835am. Cloudy and 60's to 70. Drank a pot of chocolate/instant coffee and didn't have to piss any more than I usually do.

I watched VERONICA GUERIN with Cate Blanchett in the living room.

Janny and Joe dropped over just before noon. It was Half Day at Calvary and the eighth grade graduation is tonight. We chatted for almost an hour, and I reassured them (and myself) that I was definitely on the mend.

Just as they were pulling away Bayliss called to check on how I was doing. The nurse didn't seem too concerned that I had to piss so much yesterday. She said that they pumped me full of fluids during the procedure. That's what Joe said last night.

I called and made an appointment with Dr. Eric High for June 1st at 945am for the follow up visit.

Around 5pm I took a shower and noticed two blotches of purple several inches below the incision on the right side. I checked the handout and there was no mention of bruising, but I took a photo and will keep track of it.

A nurse from Dr. High's office called around 4pm to inquire about my condition. I said I was doing fine, I guess.

I think that I feel more sore today, and this is probably because the body is healing.

I finished NICKEL AND DIMED and began CHARMING BILLY by Alice McDermott. In bed by 10pm.
