Reframing_Part 7

Goal: move through the pain

Yesterday, I phoned my doctor and left him a message because of all the pain and discomfort I was having.  This morning, my doctor phoned and asked for me to come in for x-rays as there was a possibility my ankle could have shifted again - great! Thankfully, nothing shifted, but the possibility of infection was still a concern.  My doctor stated that this pain will last for a few days (I am thinking week) as my foot is getting use to having pressure applied to it once again.  The set of wires causing most of the pain was standard, per the doctor, so my pain seemed par for the course.  However, my doctor prescribed a stronger med (Norco) he hoped would bring some relief.  I popped two a couple of hours ago and I am feeling some relief, but then again, I have not applied any standing pressure to it.

My eyes are  barely staying open because of the Norcco and antibiotics.  I think I'll be a bit of a drugie for a few days until things stabilize. It's just hard being in constant pain, especially when I thought the worse was behind me.  Boy was I wrong! Anywho, I will stay strong and hold on. My meds are truly kicking in, so it's time for me to go - goodnight.
