Day 3 - Turning a corner

Yesterday was not easy. It took us all day to manage pain. After any operation there is a need to heal the wound (cut muscles, damaged bones), keep all other things working, and strengthening weakness. But all of that is impossible if pain rules. To manage this pain killers are required. But I was reacting to the meds (palexia) with nausea. After a shower and exercise did not help, at 5pm they put me on panadeine forte and cut out all the others except the ice pack that I cuddle. Eventually, once the old pain killer was out of my body, I felt like a new person. Hopefully today is onward and upward.
