Keep Calm and Carry On

I am pitifully grateful that the nurse changed my bandages for waterproof dressings today. I can finally have a proper shower!

The only thing about the dressing that bugs me is that it's transparent. So I have this horrible lipless mouth staring up at me every time I look at my belly. Nevermind...

It's scary how much I abhor being dirty. And dabbing at your pertinent parts with a flannel while trying not to get too much water on you is just so ineffectual. I was starting to smell! I think.

Actually, I'm feeling a little woozy at the moment. I had a headache all night which wouldn't shift depite the copious amount of painkillers I threw at it. I knew I should have refused that glass of red wine yesterday lunchtime. And the tub of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie...

So when it finally faded, around seven o'clock this morning I gratefully sank into sleep. Only to be rudely awakened half an hour ago by the nurse coming to change my dressing. So. Very tired.

But I think I'm spending too much time in bed (and I never thought I'd ever say that!) so I'm going to go and have that shower I've been craving.
