(Photo of my abdomen with the stitches after the surgery)

Last night I was in terrible pain for a about 30 minutes. But surprisingly, it wasn’t the abdomen that caused me such tremendous discomfort, but my right shoulder. I’ve been picking my brain since why on earth my shoulder and not my back, for instance. Because after all, most of time I’m sitting on my butt on rather cushiony stuff. That can get to your back after a while, but the shoulder? But I just received a call from my brother in law and he actually told me, that it might very well be from the surgery. And I think he’s right, because I recall the doctors explaining to me, that they were going to kind of “break me up in the middle”. That means that they would roll me over slightly onto my right side and then push me up from underneath my right hip. That would stretch my left abdomen which would make it easier to access the surgery area. So knowing that the actual surgery took a little over an hour, I therefore might have been positioned quite awkwardly and put some strain on my shoulder. Anyway, since the pain was really bad, I decided to take some left-overs; my what I call ‘wonder-pills’ I was prescribed with after I had my Cystoscopy done. I knew I could count on them and surely enough they wiped it away up until 2:00am this morning, when I decided to go downstairs pop another two of my little helpers. As a side effect, they kind of knock you out, or I should rather say ‘enable you to sleep satisfyingly well’. Other than that, I’m feeling better than yesterday.
