Vicodin, flowers, & Indiana Jones

SO i got my surgery Thursday morning. I am officially birthmark-less. Thursday was a really rough day for me... i was so drowsy and nauseous since the anesthesia did not agree with me. And i have a cast on my right foot up to my knee that has to be like 10lbs. It was so tricky trying to walk with crutches at first because I was nauseous, tired, and in pain. At least everything went well though. 

Anyway, the past few days I  have basically just been watching tv, taking vicodin every 6 hours, napping, and trying to make myself comfortable. It's funny because I am a huge bum but now that i can't get out of bed at all it's miserable!! my back and neck are killing me because i can't really do anything but lay on my back in bed. i also have a huge scar on my right side in the crease of my stomach (sort of like a tummy tuck on one side..) so i'm trying not to lay on that at all. it's weird because when i saw the scar from the skin graft i didn't think it would look the way it does... it's SO long. like if i were to wear a bikini bottom a good 5-6 inches would still be visible. hopefully that fades fast though. it's crazy because the plastic surgeon closed the skin graft with glue so i the past few days i've been really worried my side would just like rip open lol. don't worry, it didn't.
My parents have been really great with all of this. My mom has been helping me with everything and now that my dad is home for the weekend he's been really helpful too. I can't shower for 2 weeks so yesterday they both helped me wash my hair. Oh my god and yesterday when i woke up, my dad had already gone out and bought Indiana Jones 1-3 since I mentioned that I had never seen them before (and NEVER had the urge to) so we could watch them together lol. We started on the first one and I fell asleep and he PAUSED it and waited for me to wake up hahah

but yea, that's my life lately. really boring but getting better everyday. A bunch of people have sent me flowers and get well cards and stuff so it's really helping to know there are a bunch of people there to support me. xoxo
