Op day plus four (Tuesday)

Good night's sleep.  Didn't have to take any painkillers in the night - mostly undisturbed sleep.

No BM yet so I take another sachet of the laxative.  Second shower, then change some of the dressings and incidentally have a look at the stitches.  The new dressings are too big really, and I drop one of them on the floor after I've started to peel off the backing so probably I'm one short, but I didn't change all of them as at least one of them didn't need changing.

Feeling a lot better today.

T prepared a small bowl of pasta with bolognaise sauce for lunch; she cooked the pasta so it was ultra soft, and the sauce was mince-based, so no lumps. I was feeling desperate for something a bit more solid and it went down a real treat.  Even though it was all quite soft, I chewed everything as small as I could.  Delicious. My stomach felt very full though.  Loved it so much I had a bit more at tea time (meal times have become frequent and small - most of them can't really be given names.  Tea time is about 4 - 5 p.m.)

Hopefully the stomach will persuade the bowels Ke Nako (It's Time!)

Bed early - 9.30 p.m.
