I took a muscle relaxer at 11:30. They are the only things that seem to make a legit difference in how I feel. I usually take one at night. But I was in a lot of pain today. The bottle says 3 a day and I’ve always just taken one a day at the most. Not even every day. One has always worked. My mom says I’m using them wisely. So I took one and I got into bed with the heating pad turned on high. I fell asleep for about 45 minutes with my music on and I feel better now. My surgeons PA called my mom while she was out and she said its rare to be having complications but she and my surgeon will do a video session tomorrow and they can prescribe me more muscle relaxers if I need them to. I feel safer with the muscle relaxers then I do with opiates plus they do actually work and I can even catch a nap during the day when I take one and wake up feeling better. I can’t do that with anything else.

I’m going to ask him tomorrow if it’s not a complication then how to get over things emotionally.
