Don't you just hate recovery? I had 2 really good days, and I was good too, promise, cross my heart Then out of the blue last night, I had excruciating pain and still having probs today. Was up til 3 a.m. taking everything at my disposal to get the pain under control.

I know it is a normal part of recovery, good days and bad days, just disappointed that I had to resort back to the hydrocodone.

You know, I was so good, that when I took my son to a birthday party, that I didn't get in the go carts or bumper boats and the other parents took Josh on the supervised rides. No laundry, haven't even cleaned my kitchen, ick, you probably didn't want to know that

Heck, I haven't even vacumned! Sigh, guess I'll take it easy this weekend and get reassurance from the NS on Monday when I get my post op x-ray.

Going to stay off the computer the rest of the weekend. Will let you know how my appt goes.

Love you guys.
