I would like to state for the record that washing your hair when you have no sensation (back? yet?) in the top of your scalp is bizarre and difficult. And the prescription-strength dandruff shampoo that I'm using is particularly nasty if it gets in the eyes or mouth. And really, I'm supposed to leave it on for three minutes?
Yes, I know, this kind of surgery is mostly a rich bitch privilege and I should be grateful to even have this kind of problem. But that's hard to remember when your eyes are stinging.
I still don't quite have a solution for sleeping in the recommended position, i.e. with my back at a 45° angle to the horizontal. My camping recliner is almost there, but I think I need a sleeping bag with it. At the rate I'm going it'll be almost too late. My back's sensitivity is surely a sign of age.
Other things I've done that I shouldn't have according to a second reading of the post-op instructions: walk too long at once, carry too much weight (groceries), get busy with Clara*, and pull weeds.
I shall be buying foods today that I can eat when I go off liquids on Tuesday. Oh yes, I shall.
*The sex toy I designed.
