Recovery Day 2

Today has been a lot better. My chest, stomach and ribs are extremely sore from throwing up so much, but it's completely stopped. I was able to eat some of the food our neighbors had been bringing over to us. My bishop from our church had stopped by as well to see how we were doing. It's nice to be a caring community.
I can get up and walk a bit, and I can sit up for longer periods of time. The sore on my head definitely still hurts, and is probably a pressure sore from the dressing that we took off yesterday.
Things I've noticed from the surgery itself:
I REALLY want to pop my ears, but I am not allowed to do so. It's driving me crazy.
I have to be careful when I cough, and every time I even start to cough I think of the Seinfeld episode where he's amazed at how many muscle you use to cough.
Just to simply lift your head up, it is amazing how many muscles you use to do so.
It really doesn't hurt any more to lay on one side or the other than it does to lay on my back. So I've noticed in my sleep I'm all over the place right now.
I can feel where the implants are (the magnet and computer chip portion). Not with my fingers, but you know how you can feel where a headache is coming on? it's that same kind of sensation.
I truly cannot hear. There were some sounds that I could hear before without my hearing aids that I've noticed i'm not hearing now. The toilet lid slamming down was the first one I noticed. I had just bumped the lid and turned to wash my hands, and found myself just subconsciously waiting to hear the sound of it slam. When I never heard it, I turned around, and saw that the lid was down. That was my first indication that I cannot and will not hear anything right now. Other times have been Kiernan crying nearby, the vacuum going off near by, and my talking. I can still feel myself talking, but now that I can't hear it at all, it's a different feeling. So bizzare.
I am not allowed to lift heavy things, I'm not even supposed to pick Kiernan up. This is difficult as I want to cuddle with him and such, especially since he's been feeling sick :(. I cannot bend over, if I do need to get down, I have to bend at the knees, so I just think about how I should bend when I'm in a dress.
The ringing in my left ear is making me crazy. This is normal, but it's only happening in my left ear, which is actually the ear that would usually ring when I would do sound booth tests. Just an interesting thing.
Other than that, I'm still mostly just laying down and taking it easy. I was thinking of doing some work on Friday, but I don't think I will. Especially now that I found out it's a day off for the state holiday that is on Saturday.
I've asked for a car pool ride to Ogden on Monday as I don't quite trust myself to drive yet, and would rather be safe than sorry.
