Through a succession of calls yesterday to various doctors, I was able to increase my dosage of Percocet yesterday, told I could take the nerve pain drug this morning, and told I could take Percocet this morning.
This is all good news, though I was definitely really hurting yesterday, and I had a lot of trouble sleeping. Today, for some reason, standing is even better than lying down, at the moment. Why? Who the hell knows? I am just ready for the surgery. Surgery now, please. Yes, I would like the drugs and the stitches and all the rest of it.
T-minus approximately 4.5 hours.
Dana, I thought about you this morning, because I wondered when the surgery would be today. I'm so happy for you -- by this evening (or earlier), you should be pain-free and ready to recuperate! Go team back surgery!
Surgery~ma, Dana.
Finally caught up with Natter. I was so wiped out after my trip I took Monday off and slept most most of the day. But I'm still just fatigued and wiped out. I need a weekend to recover.
Both travelling and grief are fatiguing so please take it easy.
What Laura said.
And what everyone else said to Dana -- good luck with the surgery!!
I have checked in! And am sitting and doing nothing.
May your surgery be as successful as Teppy's! And may the hospital wifi be good.
It looks like we are seeing Hamilton in Chicago on June 1. Looking at nearby hotels, they are ridiculous! Any suggestions for good places to stay? The kids and I will be coming by Megabus and meeting friends driving from MN.
