Amy's 'momentary trouble'

Amy had an extraordinarily bad day yesterday. She didn't eat very well, she was in a lot of pain, she took several 2 to 3 hour power naps and as she told me, just didn't feel right/good. It seems to me that she's taken a couple steps back in her recovery. Now, having said that, it could have been just a bad day. It could be just the normal process of her body healing. It could be that she's pushing herself more than she should be, or maybe it's a combination of all of the above. All I know is that she's getting frustrated and at times irritable; the other day while she was in extreme pain and in tears, she told me that she wasn't sure having the surgery was worth what she was going through now. I'm sure you understand that she is VERY thankful that the surgery was able to be performed and that the result was so positive, but she has had to deal with pain every minute of every day for the past 14 + days and unless she wants to be drugged to the point of sedation, it is always there on some level. We were supposed to hear back on the results of the blood test she had yesterday, but when Amy called down to the office, she was told that the nurse who would have received those was out yesterday and today, so I've called another one of her doctors to see if he can obtain a copy of those results, but I haven't heard back from him yet.

My wife is incredible. The strength, courage, stamina and tenacity she has and continues to show through all of this is simply amazing. I fell in love with her for so many reasons, I just never imagined this would be one of them.
