The Beached Whale Journal, Day 2

48 hours in, and the time has slowed a bit. But, I have made a lot of viral concentrates that seemed as slow, and I survived!

Yesterday afternoon I got a back massage - very nice- and visits from Jason - even better. Today is much slower, and my rommate went home so its pretty quiet. Buns are still cooking in the oven and kicking well.

I got to ring the nurse for the first time today - to take the ballerina tights off so I could take a shower! They take some yanking, and I didn't think curling up like a hedgehog to get them off was a good idea.

My first doctor here said this would be like eating an elephant - take lots of little bites to get it all in. Yesterday I would have said the bites were raw and too salty to eat many of, but today they a bit more palatable. Now I shall just have to devise a plan to get the body pillow back from the dog whenever I get home!

Thanks for all the wishes and notes, they help tremendously. Hopefully some pictures tomorrow!
