So glad to hear from you and get the update on your surgery and recovery. I've been thinking about you and wondering how things were going.

I think being able to get relief from your pain meds until an hour before your next dose is pretty darned good. Can you take some tylenol in between your doses of pain meds to help stretch the time of pain relief? A friend of mine had knee replacement and that's what the doc prescribed to help between doses, and it did help a bit. You know the trick to being as comfy as possible is to take those meds religiously, even in the middle of the night so the pain doesn't get way ahead of you.

I think it's a good sign that you are not in any worse pain than when you went in for surgery. It's just like when going to a chiropractor and your alignment is off, when they put you back into alignment the muscles do scream for a bit don't they?

I'm sorry the doc found more damage than he thought he would find. So yes, you did the right thing by not putting the surgery off.

Resting is so hard to do when one is used to be up and moving around. We mom's find it the hardest don't you think? So, as hard as it is, take good care of yourself!!
