Ugh!!! Had a huge meltdown last night. My pain was up to like a 9 and I was so unhappy. I still had an hour before I could get more meds. The nurse came in and said he could go a 1/2 hour early but nothing earlier. It’s weird cause I was feeling pretty good all day and then it went down hill later in the day and then thru the night it got so much worse. So the worse pain was around 10 pm and I just couldn’t handle it. I finally got my meds but not without a lot of tears. I’m sure it was a mix of the pain and just all my emotions coming to a head. I finally did get settled and did end up getting some sleep. But throughout the day my pain was definitely on the higher side compared to yesterday. The nurse and Dr said that it was because all the blocks and pain medicine I got for surgery was now wearing off. But the talk was that I was going to go home. I was worried about the pain and didn’t know if I wanted to go or not. But as the day went on I figured it was gonna hurt whether I was at the hospital or at home. The Dr came in and said I was good to go and he would see me in two weeks. Then the PT came in and we went over some things that I need to keep doing at home plus with the walking and stuff I was doing I was in good shape to go home. I also got a CPM machine delivered and sat on that for like 3 hours. Then a guy came and delivered one for me to take home. So it was set that I was going home.
The ride home wasn’t too bad, I still wasn’t feeling great but I knew it would eventually pass. Once I got home I took a shower and relaxed in my own chair. I only had some soup for dinner cause I was still not feeling great. Once I had dinner I went to Alicia’s room where I was gonna be sleeping to lay down and get some more time in on my CPM. Overall I think the day went ok. The pain was not horrible but I’m still feeling it a little more then I want. I’m hoping tonight is better then last night.
