I fall in and out of consciousness, basically. I wake up at random times and fall asleep at random times. I missed my therapy session because of this. I also cannot sit normally. I’m tired and cannot function. “Best” part my surgeon thought to reduce my sick leave from 2 weeks to 1, but thankfully a GP gave me 2. I just hope I actually recover. I still haven’t called the hospital about a checkup, because it’s far and I don’t yet feel safe making the journey and cannot afford taking a taxi back and forth.

Today morning I woke up at 5 completely unable to focus my eyes, but also completely unable to fall back asleep. I’ve never experienced such a thing. My eyes would unzoom from any text I tried reading basically immediately.

The first few days I was super swollen with little pain, but since the swelling went down, it hurts. The wound healing looks the worst from all the wounds I’ve had, subjectively judged anyway. I fear I’ll need another surgery. One part of the wound literally feels as if they implanted a small-ish completely hard ball under my skin. Yes, yes, I know, go for a checkup - I will once I literally can.

I just woke up after 19:00 and I don’t even remember when I fell asleep. I guess I’m extra cranky about it, because it’s super dark outside.

I don’t feel like my life is in any danger at all and I feel super guilty unable to work, even though I don’t believe I am capable of working in any form as is.

I just sat for ages trying to figure out how to finish this, but I just wanted to vent, so sending as is.

    As an update:

    I went to the hospital today morning because I couldn’t reach them via a phone. Ended up sent to emergency. Waited quite a long time there. They checked all and in spite of the massive pain flare up, the wound looks good to them. I was given some anti-septic just in case and sent back home, which I’m happy with, I just wish the pain went back to how it was before or even lower.

        Thank you. Much appreciated. The swelling got worse again, but the pain is somewhat down again, so it’s a welcome correlation or causation. ^ ^
