Good morning my Bonesmart family. Another long days journey into night begins. First let me start with the positive. With all the posts I see about sleep problems, I'm so thankful in not in that group. I look forward to the end of these long tortuous days, where I can stretch out on my lovely bed, take my drugs, strap on my headphones and drift off to sweet, escaping sleep. I stopped setting my 4am med alarm, because I seem to always wake up at about that time to take my next round of tylenol pm & tramadol, set up and waiting on my night table, then drift back to sleep till 7am or so. So that's a good thing.
But then the day begins, start off coffee, light breakfast, drugs , then sit in recliner in moderate achey pain, ice machine strapped on. Seems as these days move on, the tightness in my knee feels worse not better, does this seem normal? (Whatever normal is). I try to gently bend my knee to increae some bend, but it hurts and is tight & I dont want to force it. Pt is supposed to call & come today. I cancelled him Friday, should I do it again, or let him come and just do very little? What I am doing, is several walks around the house during the day, a few very gentle, limited heel slides, ankle pumps, but not too much else. My rom is something like 78/5 at just under 2 weeks.
Stomach issue, seems a bit better, but im barely eating, mostly sticking to BRAT, with some eggs and a bit of pb. Im on day 3 of the Florastor, and did not have any diarrhea events yesterday, but no regular bm's either. Does this sound like progress
@Timetolive ? Also, is it ok to keep taking my vitamin C, which helps healing. What about my multivitamin?
So on to another day of ice, elevation, rest, boredom & healing. I hope I get to see the day where I feel this was worth it.
