How are you feeling today? and how much can ya eat.

Feel ok, getting up and down from chairs is a little tender, from the bed i need hubs to pull me vertical. To all you moms out there who have had a c-section, I salute you. I've always known I'm a weenie when it comes to pain but I don't know how you can deal with getting cut in half like that. I have 4 small 2cm incisions and one 6 cm incision where they pulled out the stomach but dang they hurt. I'm on a full liquid diet for 3 weeks to allow healing. Last night was the first time I had a problem, I took some liquid hydrocodone with tylenol just before bed and it tastes so nasty I followed it with water.... apparently I tried to consume too much because it cam back out... nothing in my tummy other than liquid but dang, did that hurt. So.... I'm grying to consume 1 oz every 15 minutes of either water, chicken broth or a protein drink. It will be interesting to see how this progresses!

I'm sitting on day 18 on my 18 super blue egg layers. I candled a few and they all look good so I'm waiting until I hear a pip before I turn the turner off and turn the rest of the hatch by hand. They are about 5 days or so behind. I think. I forgot to make a page for them. They are 15 White Plymouth Rocks.

So sorry! Having had an unplanned c section (pushed for 8.... Yes 8 and no not making it up or over exaggerating... hours until my sons stats started to drop) I totally feel your pain on the getting up, sitting, going to the bathroom is horrible pain... I know. The good news is you only have three weeks until they think you will heal and were all still looking forward to seeing pics of you as half the woman you use to be! take it slow, just one day at a time. Just don't push yourself too hard! I made that mistake with my c section and took me over three months to not be in pain.... Obviously I don't listen to doctors orders very well... Don't make that mistake. Will be thinking of you.

I had a C section one of those bikini cut ones.... They sent me home 24 hours after the delivery. Tape on my gut to hold it together and told to use a pillow to mash against it when I had to walk about. Aside from the getting up and down I did ok. I cant take the Hydrocodone so just took tylenol.

Mann I am assuming the whole issue with liquid consumption is the result of the parts removed during surgery...

Remember Daphne, the mystery EE that I suspected of being a roo - at least sometimes I did. Well, you all were right. I found the culprit laying green eggs in the corner of the coop this morning. Grrr.....she's more trouble than she's worth sometimes. Bossy, opinionated, loud, pushy, demanding, and the prettiest little green eggs you ever saw!

Don't you just love those EE gals!!!

Oh, I'm so mad I could spit! Little Diane and Dustin were assaulted last night. This was her post on FB:

So. I got assaulted tonight. A grown man drop kicked me in the ribs and sent me flying back into the passenger door, and I cracked my head on the armrest on the door... AFTER he threw open the back drivers door and started punching Dustin in the face. He came all the way from the drivers side, to my side and kicked me, and then started punching the back passenger window hard as hell trying to get to Dustin. Then he went all the way back to the drivers side to go after Jacob. But Jacob put his hands up, and he backed off. Paramedics wanted me to go to the ER for X rays, but my lack of insurance stops me from doing that.
Who drop kicks a 90 pound girl? He claimed I was pulling a gun from my pocket, when in reality, Dustin was screaming to call the cops, and so I got out with my phone in my hand.
All because we were parked in his spot.

Then she added this:

• Yeah, he went to jail last night. We're both pressing charges, so he'll be responsible for my medical bills.
  And he literally has no defense. None of us had time to react. I didn't even have time to brace myself after I got out if the car. He literally kicked me so hard that his foot leaving my chest left a scratch all the way down my stomach. I hit my head pretty hard, so that feels like death right now, but I think I'm alright.
  It was completely unprovoked and I can't wrap my head around it..
  I'm just so glad Dustin locked his door so the guy couldn't get in after he kicked me and that the back window didn't break in on Dustins face.

  The cops said that there was alcohol involved. So I don't know how drunk he was, but he was caught red handed driving under the influence. I hope he stays locked up for a good while.
  
  Yayyy for emergency room visits.
  I am going to bruise so freakin bad from this.

Who DOES this to somebody else? It's horrible to happen to anyone but she's no bigger than a minute! Size 00 jeans are too big for her. Just talked to her and her pain meds are wearing off, her head is throbbing, and the bruising on her ribs and stomach is starting to color up. Oh, I'm just so angry right now!! Let's just pray that this maniac gets what he deserves. And for a speedy recovery for her and Dustin. Dustin is a hurting unit today too. I don't understand deliberately hurting another human being. Alcohol isn't a reason - it's an excuse.
