Today, I was not feeling too great. Things were getting worse, and the pain became soreness that never went away. Moving at all hurt. I did get some pain killers, though, and since I was driving to work today, I figured I would take them.
It could be because I wasn’t sleeping too well that last few nights, or it could be the pain killers, but I woke up, took a pill, and then fell asleep.
Woke up again, took another one, and then back to sleep. This happen a few times, and I end up sleeping over 16 hours.
I didn’t get anything accomplished since I was barely awake at all today. I really don’t want to miss any more days of work, so I would like the healing to happen quickly.
If that means I have to spend today and tomorrow sleeping, then that’s what I will do. I am thinking I won’t sleep as much tomorrow, though, unless I keep taking the pain killers.
I only have 15 with no refills, so I would like to space them out a little and really only take a pill if I absolutely need it.
For general soreness or the stinging that happens when one of my incisions is touched, the pain killers don’t really help.
If that is what I am dealing with tomorrow, then the pain killers won’t be needed. I am mainly taking them when I sleep since the laying down thing is still a bit of an issue. Hopefully, taking them at night doesn’t keep me from ever waking up.
