As it’s natural for everyone to ask how I feel, here is my reply—
If anyone knocks on your door and asks to break your sternum, front and back, simply smile and reply—
No fricking way!
Then without delay
Say—Good day!
And fast as you can
Lock yourself up safe inside.
For the first couple days after discharge, my pain meds were spaced 6 hrs apart, which saw me struggling with intense pain throughout the day. Yesterday, my surgeon, heeding my plea, spaced doses 4 hours apart, and much to my relief, I’ve been tolerating that change much better.
To my good fortune, Will and David are the best, most patient care givers I’ve ever encountered, and one by one, the days are passing, each one improving in some infinitesimal way or another because of everyone’s loving kindnesses, which keep our cups running over with soothing thoughts of gratitude!
