Tuesday night, while I was playing Brutal Legend, I was struck with sudden and massive nausea. I went to lie down for a bit. I ate a little, and that seemed to help, but I went to bed very early. I woke up nearly 12 hours later, still nauseous and still exhausted, so I took another sick day from work and stayed home.

Today I’m feeling about where I was Tuesday morning (maybe a bit better, since I’m managing my pain with only ibuprofin). I have some nausea medication with me at work, just in case, and I have a follow-up with my surgeon this afternoon. I’m hoping to catch up on my Whitechapel post-mortem tonight, as well as catching up on some work today.

For some reason I thought this recovery would be a slam-dunk because I’ve been through so many surgeries, but I’m just moving back to an old coping mechanism — taking it one day at a time.
