Guest guest Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Hi... My recovery took a big leap forward today. Up until now, the medications I've taken have been largely ineffective, regardless of activity level. I've had the typical back pain, incision pain, as well as a lot of leg pain. I've rarely had more than an hour of sleep at a time. This morning, despite the fact that I wasn't supposed to get my incisions wet, I made the executive decision that the incisions looked good enough that it wouldn't hurt them to be wet for a short amount of time. The shower felt great, and it was wonderful to have clean hair. I was so tired afterward that I couldn't keep my eyes open. Before I knew it, I had slept 2 hours. I took my next dose of pain medication and went immediately back to sleep. That went on all morning. I forced myself to stay awake most of this afternoon, but have largely been without pain as long as I'm inactive. I even went an extra hour without medication. In writing about it, it sounds sort of normal, but feels totally miraculous. I'm not sure it will last, but I'm enjoying the time while I have it.
