Post-Op Update #2

Namaste readers!
I am currently 9 days into recovery.

On Monday I was feeling pretty fantastic until my beloved Fred (he's my cat) jumped on my pubic incision. That was very painful, but my surgeon assured me that enough time had passed that it shouldn't have caused any damage.
Later that evening, my niece got very sick with what seems like a gastroenteritis virus. She ended up going to the hospital and spent the night in Pediatric Acute Isolation. Very scary. I barely slept that night and the following day, I was very sore. I ended up going back to work and it was challenging. As exciting it was to see everybody, I had a hard time feeling comfortable being in a sitting position for a prolonged period of time.
Today, I woke up very early. Around 4am. I went to the washroom but I had a hard time getting comfortable. I had pelvic pain above the pubic bone and above the incision which was previously squashed by kitty paws.
I woke up again at 8, went to the washroom again, and had such a difficult time falling back to sleep due to pain that I took one of my T3s. This allowed me to feel drowsy enough to sleep in 30 minute intervals. I woke myself up once by babbling in my sleep.. Then laughing about it afterwards once I was coherant enough to think about what just happened!
Around noon I got up because I wasn't high anymore and I wanted to call my surgeon. However the office was closed until 1pm.. So I was in a pickle. I had to be at work later that afternoon but I wasn't sure if I should or not. Ended up calling work anyways, and I couldn't get excused until I brought in a note from a doctor which I thought unfair because here I am.. In pain.. Just had surgery.. And now I have to run to the doctor's office for a note even though my work KNOWS I had surgery done?
So I'm very stressed out for missing work today, which is making resting very hard.
I see my doctor tomorrow. Chances are I'm just recovering slower than most people. I went to work too soon and tried doing too much too fast and ended up exhausting my body. We'll see how I feel tomorrow. I'm trying to take it easy and eat healthy foods. I'm taking pain medications to help make me more comfortable.
Since the surgery I've experienced some other unpleasant side-effects I'd like to let my doc know about. One of them is short-term memory loss. You can tell me something and I'll forget what it was literally a minute after you told me! I'm also very emotional. I cry at the drop of a hat. I also have a "brain fog" where it's difficult to focus, and sometimes I stutter like the public defender in "My Cousin Vinny". I'm also back to peeing every 20-30 minutes which is very frustrating especially when I'm trying to sleep! When I roll onto my side I feel pressure on my bladder. Doesn't matter which side either. I'm afraid to sleep on my back because of the cat.. Blahh! I hope this is over soon and I can get back to normal.
I'm so worried about getting in trouble at work because I've missed so much. Granted I booked all those days off in advance but not today. Maybe I didn't call in soon enough? I didn't want to call them when I was high on painkillers. I'm sure everything will be ok. Before all this happened, I was told that I'm a very good worker. I still am.. I just need to recover.
