Ants
Today I have truly lived up to the name of this blog. I'm having a very bad morning and it's all because of ants. They were on my counter when I got up this morning so I sprayed them with cleaner and wiped them and the counter up. I took a shower and when I came back out, the ants were back. So I sprayed them again. When they showed up a third time, I couldn't take it anymore, and I started crying. All the emotions of 3 weeks of pain and exhaustion came out and I cried over 10 ants marching around my counter. Now I feel like the biggest whiny girl and my eyes hurt from crying. Ugh, I hope I can only go up from here!

It's the silly things like that to set us off! I'm sorry you dealt with that but at least you got a good cry out of it, it probably was really therapeutic! You're not whiney by any means, things like this after surgery and anesthesia are bound to make you go off! As in my "Crankypants" post, I lost it after a little conversation tipped me over the edge. But, it was part of the emotional healing process. If you don't/won't/can't cry, I'd be worried. Hopefully those ants stay away!!! And I'm sure things will continue to go up, but allow yourself some bad days and cry about it, because it's just life:) Thinking of you! xoxo
Just like Marcie said it is good to have a cry, even if it was over ants. I would worry more if couldn't cry. Crying does release our emotions and helps us to heal. It is all part of the recovery. And there may be more days too. Yesterday I had a day and it was over mayo. For some reason food upsets me :)
All your hip sisters love you and truly understand! Love ya, Katie
Thanks girls! I put down some ant powder and they haven't come bugging me again! And after I moved on from the "woe-is-me" attitude, I felt much better. I hope I don't hit this wall again but I know I still have a long road ahead.
I had my RPAO done June 15th up in Boston. Today I was so emotional. I could barely have a conversation with my mom without crying. I think I finally got all the crying out while watching tv this evening. Reading your posts makes me feel a little more normal. I keep thinking it's hormonal, which I'm sure is playing a role, but it is comforting to know that I'm not the only one finding myself needing a good cry.
