Living my life in 4 hour Intervals

So, I can manage the pain as long as I take my meds every 4 hours. And, usually, at about hour 3.5, I start to feel the burn.

All I can say is it's bad, but it's not as bad as yesterday or Thurs pm when I was vomiting from the anesthesia/pain med mix.

I took a wash cloth bath in my kitchen today...enough said.

I can sleep about 2 hours at a time, too.

The damage wasn't as bad as the mri indicated, so the meniscus were just trimmed, but the acl was completely torn and was repaired with my patella tendon. ouch.

Progress.

I hope you're not taking the stairs and are living downstairs! Here are wishes for a fast recovery and enjoyable summer!

yah. I'm living on the couch, hence the kitchen bath. I might make it up the stairs in the next few days. I can officially shower on Tues, so that may be stairs day.

Wow, shower day and stairs day all in one! ;o)

I am glad you are getting better, slowly but surely. It was great chatting yesterday. We definitely missed you.

Are you feeling a pinch better today?
