Two Weeks is Too Soon?

I keep forgetting and trying to count from the day I had the first of those four surgeries. One week ago today, I had the fourth in a series of surgeries to unblock my shunt and get it operating correctly again. My brain keeps counting from the first day I was in the hospital instead of counting from the last surgery. So, it has been two weeks + 2 days since my shunt failure, one week since my last surgery, and only 6 days since my discharge. 

Since coming home, I have been resting, sleeping a lot, not getting anything done, just trying to heal. Today, I decided to try to start organizing the mess in my living room... Bad idea. I got two boxes in and had to stop because the pain flared up. At least I am learning to listen to my body.

Last night, I didn't sleep well because of abdominal pain, so I know better than to push through it.

The headaches are still gone, thankfully. These suckers, and the muscles surrounding them are what have been causing the most pain.

I have really been learning a major lesson in slowing down and resting. As I rest and heal, I will gain strength and be back to 100% soon enough. Until then, I will rest and lean on Him.
