My body is in REVOLT.
Last night was the living end. My left leg, the not operated on leg, decided to have all the muscles go into spasm at the same time. Imagine engaging every muscle at once. I can't do that normally. I miss a muscle, or two, or three. But last night, my body said "SPASM!!!" and my leg co-operated. The only way I could halt it was to press on my left gluteal muscle. Today, my left leg is not wanting to straighten much, nor bend.
I had a couple of full leg spasms on my right leg, but they subsided. I am exhausted. Between the muscle spasms and the inability to get comfortable, I'm not getting any quality sleep.
Walking is murder. I've been slowly trying to reduce the Dilaudid, but I think this is not the time. I'm taking the Tylenol arthritis as well.
The only difference in my life is sitting up for half an hour for harp practice, which is necessary for my peace of mind, and 15 minutes on the desk cycle. I'm thinking I should cut the desk cycle back to 10 minutes.
I'm also feeling grumpy, because people keep telling me about someone they know who was doing this, that, or the other at 3 weeks, or 4 weeks, or blah blah blah. It's the unsaid comment about what's wrong with you?
This is the first time, so far, I've felt down since the operation. I take 2 different anti-depressants, so I'm raking this up to sleep deprivation.
