I’ve been trying to figure out pain management. I accidentally lessened off some medications for a few hours. During that time the pain did not increase. My hope is that I can soon work with ice packs and exercise to deal with the worst of the pain. I’ll work with medical personnel to figure this one out!
I’m exercising three to four times a day — that loosens up the muscles and keeps me limber. I’m actually starting to enjoy the leg lifts and tucks as well as walking around the house.
My next big venture! I’ve tried sleeping on my side. I put pillows between my knees, rest for a few minutes and then lay on my back again. I must admit that it takes some of the "boringness" out of sleep. Never thought I’d be getting "cabin fever" already!!
You’d almost think that recovery from surgery has become my work!
