Day 5. Feeling a bit better

Mar 03, 2013

I'm starting to feel a bit better but I am sooo hungry. I cant wait till day 7 when I can have full liquids. (Who would have thought I'd look forward to my pre-surgery liquid diet). The pain is getting better but I'm still mostly useless so I'm bored. I can't clean or eat or sleep or watch tv. Can't wait to go back to work. I hate being home. Plus I really don't want to take the pain meds but I keep having to then I feel like a failure. But I can't stand to breathe deep or even move without them. Water tastes strange and I have a weird taste in my mouth a lot. I figure I waited years for the surgery I can wait a few weeks to feel better. At least now I can sleep the first few days i couldn't sleep because I was so umcomfotable and pain meds don't work on me but my dr gave me toradol in the hospital which helped but at home all I can take is lortab which does help but not for long.  Oh well. I'd planned on using NO pain meds after the hospital. So much for that idea.

Last thing I need is a pain med addiction on top of everything else. Does this scare anyone else?
