Foot surgery update: I haven't needed narcotic pain meds for the last couple days! Pain is manageable with OTC meds, elevation, & ice packs.

I'm trying to make peace with not being able to do much. I have no choice but to sit with the feeling 😂

I'm not so much very mad at Trump...he said he was going to do this shit...I'm more upset with those who enable him (including those who voted for him).
