Day two went well. I didn’t take a pain pill until early afternoon yesterday. I went outside with my scooter and when I come back inside I hit a bump on the floor and my leg fell off the scooter and my hurt foot bumped the floor. OUCH! Had to take another pain pill after that!
Only took four pain pills yesterday all together. Not bad for the second day. Took two before I went to bed last night and I was able to get some good sleep.
Woke up in pain this morning though. I got up and took a pain pill and then went back to bed. Woke up two hours later feeling a bit light headed. I had forgotten to eat something when I took the pain pill. I took a shower and then ate some breakfast at lunch time. I’m still a bit light headed but feeling a bit better. The pain is more uncomfortable today but still manageable. Hoping I won’t need another pain pill until evening but I’ll see how the afternoon goes.
I haven’t had much of an appetite which is normal for me when I have pain. I’ll try to do a better job of eating a ittle protein several times during the day today and see if that helps.
Something like this sure makes me aware of how lucky I am to have good health. Everything right now is such an effort. I am rather limited as to what I can do. So grateful this is a temporary thing!
Jim continues to take good care of me. I’m lucky to have him here.
Sitting, resting, doing a bit of embroidery work, healing, and practicing patience. That is my day today!
Grateful for pain pills, grateful for Jim’s presence, and grateful for all my friends and family that call and check on me and all the prayers of healing being sent on my behalf. I appreciate every one of you!
