I ventured out into the world on my own yesterday to test the waters post-surgery as my doctor wanted. Yesterday was Day 8. I went to pick up the kids from school (such a treat!), and then stopped by my school to try and get a handle on what's been going on in my classroom and what needs to be done. I ended up being there for almost 2 hours with a constant barrage of people talking to me, updating me with information, and also my kids were running around with some of their little friends having a blast but being very noisy. My brain was definitely on overload. We left and then I find out Tim isn't going to be home for 2 more hours. I decided to stop and grab food for the kids because one, I'm not a great cook, and two, our stove caught on fire a couple days ago and all we have for now is a microwave. That's a whole other story-new stove arrives tomorrow. During all of this I felt okay. Moving slowly but getting by. Today it seems I am paying for it. I have been very dizzy and off-balance and nauseous all day. Pretty much like I felt pre-surgery. I also have this popping in my ear that feels like my eardrum is trying to adjust itself. It's kind of a bummer but I know I can't expect to be healed all at once.
So that's the update. I feel like I'm back to square one. Hopefully it has nothing to do with not being able to use my Meniett. I'll try for a restful evening and a good night's sleep and see if that helps. The incision is healing very well. No longer bruised and the swelling is almost gone!
