Today's the 3rd day at my Grandma's place. And it's not as boring as I thought. Heh. Had some of my relatives over at my Grandma's place over the weekend, so the house was pretty crowded with plenty of company. Boy and my nephew and niece are so big already!So far I have kept myself occupied with books, x-box, tv and cross stitch. Feel so relaxed and well taken care of. But I can't wait to be able to get out of the house for some fresh air too.

Feeling much better and no longer feeling the pain. Moving around is also a lot easier without support. Still have to keep reminding myself to walk tall, walk straight, else I'll end up with a bad back. Just had my dressing changed yesterday so that I can take a bath. Gosh the worst part is the icky feeling from my hair. :P Anyway took my first bath since my operation and feel absolutely rejuvenated. My hair smells heavenly too. *muahahaha* Oh and I took a peek at my stitches when my dressing was changed, it's more than 10cm long! Hope it doesn't leave an ugly scar. My mom was telling me how lucky I am not to have to go back to the hospital to have the stitches removed unlike in her time. The removal of stitch was a painful one as the thread would be covered in dried up blood and when they remove it from your skin it can thug at the wound and cause it to bleed again! Ehhhhh.

Glad that I don't have to go through such agonizing pain. And yes my threshold for pain is actually not that high. Pity the trainee nurse who saw me cringed and almost screamed when she cleaned my wound while I was in the hospital.

So many things I wanna do during this "break". I wanna step out of the house, see the sun, catch a movie, get a hair cut, go for facial, go christmas shopping! I can't wait.
