I am 21 days into recovery today. My pain is constant, although it isn't severe. It is however, waring me down. I managed to get two fairly well sleeps since I am home. Last night was horrible. My legs usually cause me a problem but someone suggested a heating pad and that most definitely helps my legs but for some reason I was still up at two o'clock. My problem with the pain medication is it is not strong enough and my GP doesn't want tp prescribe narcotics. He has me nervous about them now so I am willing to stay on tylenol 3's and advil. Lack of sleep does not make me a very happy person. I am not sure if I should scream or cry. I need dental work as I chipped a tooth. That is stressing me out. I hate dentists. I hear what all these kind people are saying about it takes time etc. and I truly believe every one of them. Why can't I accept that for myself.? I guess I am impatient. It was nice the first few days to have people look after you, now I am tired of it. I have started to do light vacumming, dusting, washing etc.
I go at my own speed so that is okay. This really sounds ridiculous, but I have two granddaughters that live with us 13 and 11 and they have been fantastic. I have two younger ones 5 and 3 and I almost feel guilty that I can't do the things I was doing. I think I am just having a melt down today.
I have physio again today and I look forward to seeing the people in my class.
Thanks for listening, I hope I made sense. I feel like my thoughts are all over the place today.
