I am kind of down since I am still extremely sore and not enjoying the crutches at the moment. I know, I should get out of the "poor me" mode, but I have been doing almost nothing since I got the surgery done. Honestly, I went from putting in 15 hour days to doing nothing but sitting on my butt! Quite a drastic change. I am desperately wanting to start some reading that I had had planned for the summer, but I am still on oxycodone so I don't even have a clear enough head to retain anything. So, I do mindless things like downloading music, going on Facebook, and watching movies. I really need to get feeling a bit better so I don't have to take narcotics, so then I'll be able to do some of the reading I had planned over my summer break. I hate sitting around feeling like I am accomplishing/learning nothing.
Enough of the pity party, I'm gonna go back to downloading more music! At least my iPod will be awesome :)
HC it has only been a few days. Don't be hard on yourself. I did not turn the corner for a week. The nurse at my GP clinic could see I was in pain and also works in a hospital. She suggested I take Voltaren (anti inflam) after meals and panadol in between. She said that was a good mix. She was right that night and since I have been a whole lot better. I have read a book, done a bit of knitting, still a bit uncomfortable but heaps better. Try that it could be the drugs knocking you around too much.
