The state of things
May. 26th, 2013 08:41 amUgh, bad pain days blow goats. I think it's because there's been so much cold damp (and outright wet) weather lately, but yesterday I was in a great deal of discomfort and ended up taking more than my usual amount of painkillers. It's not so much the incision that hurts but all the sutures and whatnot inside me, and it makes it very uncomfortable to do anything but lie flat on my back, which also becomes pretty uncomfortable after a while. I ended up exhausted by early evening.
But of course, sleep didn't help much, because I woke up twice through the night and then finally couldn't stay in bed any longer as of 7:45 this morning. Sigh.
I feel a bit better today, which is a start, but it still hurts a fair bit and I'm stiff to boot. ut hopefully the worst of the rain has gone, and maybe a few days of nice weather with no chill to the air or drastic change in pressure will help out a bit.
I wanted to spend the weekend catching up on all the blog posts I've missed, but it's still hard to sit up for more than half an hour at a time, and moreso after yesterday's pain. Likely today I'll spend more time on the couch, alternately watching TV (anything with Ruth Goodman and historical recreation is golden, in my books) and catching up on some reading that's fallen by the wayside. At least I know how to keep myself entertained when I'm in pain.
(So long as the pain isn't so bad that I can't concentrate on anything, of course. When it reaches that point, all I can do is lie still and hope it goes away soon.)
