I’m trying to handle things on my own today without pain meds. It’s been tough but I also haven’t been staying in bed all day. I’ve been moving around and I took a shower and opened some boxes and made some tea and got stuff from the garage. I think I need to scale things back a bit. I felt like I was dying for a couple hours because of the pain and I just now was able to take some Tylenol. I’ve been using the heating pad like crazy all day. But I haven’t been too needy. I haven’t asked my mom to go on a coffee run or a Walgreens run. I’ve been getting my own sodas from the garage instead of asking her to get them. I made my second cup of tea on my own. I am not drinking enough water so I need to work on that. I’m glad I can drink tea again though.

But I’m slowly getting there with my recovery. Today was just tough because I didn’t have any pain meds and I moved around more then usual. Mental health wise I was ok.
