Spoke too soon ...

O.k. so it's been a day or so since I last stopped in ... that's because when I was chatting about the ease of recovery, I was setting myself up for failure.

On Saturday, I had some sort of reaction to the pain meds, or at least that is the best that we can figure. The dosage may have been too much or something, because I could not keep anything down - which is hard to do when your mouth is filled with stitches. It was the most painful experience. On top of that, I can't eat anything other than soft foods, so there was really nothing in my stomach leaving me with painful dry heaving.

I didn't feel sick until late Saturday night, but I was already stir-crazy that morning, so we went in search of a sofa. George and i have been working on making our house a home and recently recarpeted the livingroom (Army housing is not all that decorative or comfortable.) So after much negotiating (Goerge is GOOD) we got a sectional that can convert, meaning the side do not attach, so if we go to a installation with smaller livingroom, the pieces can be seperated and they are finished. Not only did we get a sofa with sleeper, but we got two recliners with a console, so it looks like theater seats. The wedge is COMFORTABLE, I've already taken a three hour nap in it. AND ... since George is so good a negotiating, we got a FREE chaise lounge. On top of it, we used a company that takes old furniture, fixes it and donated to Soldiers in need. Take a look ...




It's a beautiful mircrofiber browns. The chaise is perfect for ... you got it STITCHING or reading. It is comfortable for working on the computer, doing homeowrk, etc.

On the stitching note, I did get some done this weekend, regardless of not feeling well. Here's an update.



It's about 80 percent done, but I'm not sure how I want to finish it yet. I'm excited to finish it and hope to get it done over the next week. Well I'm gonna try to eat something now ...
