Slept on the couch last night in an attempt to adhere to the doctor's directions for protecting my nose and graft while it heals. It was ok, but not easy or comfortable. I'm a side sleeper. Going to try tonight to be back in bed with adequate pillows and prop myself up appropriately. The nose still hurts a good deal. It's really uncomfortable to have the left nostril fully plugged let alone the pain of the stitches. I feel like I didn't take things as easy as I should. I'll make a more aggressive effort tomorrow. The last thing I want to endure is finding out the graft didn't take and go through that again. Ugh. I'm already praying that the removal of the stitches won't require shots. I had yet another argument with Tommy and really let him know how I felt about his rude offensive and impolite treatment of me and of his sister too. I went to panorama, ran the Pilot a bit, cleared out dead flowers and watered plants. The dead roses on the table behind the couch felt representative of the state of this whole situation. And like foreshadowing too. I met Bonnie at radiation and surprised Linda by taking her back to SRC. We had a good talk on the way. It's rewarding to be able to do so with more honestly than before, yet the sad truth of the limited time she has is an awful reminder of the opportunities lost to have lived a far more optimistic and positive life. Jennifer was very considerate all day about my taking it easy and getting the needed rest. Lauren received the updated vision declaration from Dr Chin so we ran by the DMV before her shift and she got her permit. Jen made a great Salmon dinner. I got Lauren from work and took her to see her mom for a visit then returned and we enjoyed an evening walk, Station 19 and a late night snack that Tommy brought after having attended his scuba class. He's in that both days this weekend and Lauren's working all day tomorrow. That'll be a full day of much rest.
