slow slog

not much in the mood to post.  Still feeling pretty sorry for myself.  I talked to the Dr's medical assistant today who basically said I was describing nothing unusual.  So, it's normal on the 7th day post-surgery to still be in this much pain, to have my donor site be oozing, to feel like the graft site is tearing away, etc.  He did say it was fine to cover the donor site w/ gauze and go out.  I will, but I need to feel a lot better if I'm going to make Thursday's 12 hour day of professional meetings.  Hard to imagine, although I certainly would like to think it's possible.  All I am doing is whining, though, which I hate.  At least I made dinner tonight (albeit w/ no fresh vegetables that require chopping).
