-Starting to feel more general aches in my back & neck from how I’ve been carrying myself, avoiding the pain, & overly bracing. The extra effort on everything is starting to show in my body
-Still no bowel movement. Going to take a stool softener to get things moving before I go to bed

-Second round of meds at 6:30. Pain has gotten pretty intense and swelling is more obvious
-Definitely a little more loopy and lightheaded with the second round of meds and pain has decreased, but not resolved. Those symptoms resolved after about an hour

I choose to fight with an open hand and I believe the world would be better off if that was our fist inclination
Like it or not, we all exist together in this shared adventure of life
Let’s make it one of happiness and acceptance, not hate, greed, and isolation

I’ll give an evening update around 10pm

- Still no bowel movement
- I’m carrying everything with two hands, no matter how light
- Getting up and moving around more often is BY FAR the most beneficial for my resting pain and pain with transitions

- Getting up and down from the toilet is a whole ordeal. I Have to go so super slowly and it feels like I’m working really hard and holding my breath. Moving “parts” around is painful and I’m just happy I have a sink and wall nearby that I can use to help lower and lift myself up

- I’m icing as much as I can, but location of the incisions makes it difficult to ice and get work done although the ice does feel good
- I’m still subconsciously bracing a lot
- I’m also weirdly gassy. This may be from the general anesthesia

- After about 2 hours I can say that the oxy doesn’t seem to have done much of anything other than make me a little drowsy. MAYBE pain is a little less, but I’m struggling to say that with any conviction. Luckily, no nausea
- Blowing my nose and coughing are painful
- The coughing REALLY hurts

…My ADHD doesn’t help, but that’s why I’ve got the meds.
What I hate most about this pattern is how it eats at my whole day. Every time I give in, it throws off my groove, making getting started even harder…

- The biggest ADL (activities of daily living) problem is socks. Bending that far forward is super difficult and painful. I have to position myself just right for it to be manageable
Just took Tylenol to help with some of the pain and we’re picking up the pain meds once the pharmacy opens
