I am a little stiff this morning but I think that's as much from lying on my back as anything. I managed about 2.5 hours of fitful sleep- pretty good I think. No sleeping pill as my pre-op showed mild apnea. They have me on a monitor and I don't think it went off. Maybe they'll take it of today. I got up twice - maybe three times for a trip to the commode. Just next to my bed but it felt really good to stand. Physio and xrays today. I was cautioned that I might not feel great later today or tomorrow but I'll play that as it comes. I am getting some kind of opioid but not the long lasting slow release type-again because of the sleep apnea thing. Also Tylenol. I have been religious about asking for it every three hours, the opioid not the Tylenol!- that's what was prescribed. Nurse very good about that but one LPN thought I should wait. I asked her to bring it now and she did.

Good for you! Sounds like you're on your way. Pain is the enemy now so keep it locked up! ;) Peggy xo
 
Good that you keeping them to the pain meds!! The stiffness does get better especially when you can mobilise more....sometimes you do get a more painful day but it gets better. Take it steady...Chrissie x

Okay, now it's all kicked in.. I think the freezing and pain relief they put in the spinal have finally worn off. Pain spiked to 7-8 before the medicine cocktail became effective.. And that took about an hour to really work. I guess it's to be expected- couldn't get away with so little pain! Now is when I really have to be vigilant. Any ideas on how long this phase will last?
