O.M.G! The P*A*I*N...

Goal: Make it through the day

The doctor did take the bottom of my frame off yesterday - thank GOD -  but I was not expecting, nor was I warned about the pain that I would experience.

My goodness, this crap HURTS!  I am feeling all seven wires on the left side of my foot.  The wires anchoring my heal are the two which hurt the most.  The pain is constant - sitting or walking - there is pain.  Thinking about how much more pain there will be if I make an effort to get up to simply go to the bathroom, prevents me from moving.  After sleeping the day due to pain, I called my mom and asked if I could come back over.  

I am now sitting on  my mom's couch and actually feel better just because I am not alone. I was worried something else might be wrong but I am glad the pain is all there is.  Unfortunately, I am finding myself needing to take my heavy meds again...tylenol 3 and vicodin. Not to mention the 10-day cycle of antibiotics which I was told to begin yesterday. I hope this period is short lived because I am feeling as out of it as I did after my initial surgery.

It has taken me almost 2 hours to type this entry due to the meds, so I know it is time to say goodnight: "Nite Nite."
