Today is day 5 post op. Today is Monday and it's the 30th of November and I do realize that it's what everybody says it's going to be post surgery - meaning there's going to be ups and downs.
Today I got up really early in the morning because my son had to go to school for his early morning cross country run and I was up at 5 o'clock in the morning. I came down the stairs and was literally on my feet for almost an hour shuffling between an Uber taxi ride and a normal taxi. That put a lot of strain on me and emotionally as well as physically and I am feeling really tired this morning.
Also it is being a really painful night last night up until this morning and the surgery surgery site has been very very painful to the touch and trying to lie on my back, or on my side has been very difficult through the night. I probably had a total of maybe 4 hours of sleep and this is becoming a problem for me to manage because that's about the sum total of sleep. I'm getting on average per day and that's not good for my recovery process. When I'm when I'm trying to sleep which ever way I turn it's painful so I'm really not comfortable at all which is why I keep waking up and not having the kind of deep sleep that I should be getting that's good for a proper rest.
Quickly I'm on the same meds which means I am on antibiotics and paracetamol three times a day and that's all.
The pain situation is actually probably the worst its been in the last 3 days. Which means today being day 5 post op the pain is on a scale of 1 to 10 around a 8. That's not reassuring considering that I'm supposed to be improving every day., I must confess that I may have overdone it yesterday. I probably walked a total of an hour at a fairly slow pace but a pace faster than I have been walking from day one I have also been climbing the stairs up and down at least 4 or 5 times and that combined with the walking must have really escalated the pain situation this morning or last night. So there is a reason why this is happening and I just don't want to blame it on whatever else is going on.
