Take. Your. Meds.
When people tell you to stay ahead of your pain medication, listen. I came home and went straight to bed. I took my anti-biotics and steroids as directed. Valium, which offers the most relief against the the pain of the tightening of stomach muscles, was also taken as directed. I got it in my head that I needed to start weaning off the pain meds.
What resulted was me going ten, twelve hours at a time with no medicine and I was just in agony. I thought I was doing well because I could roll over sometimes (with use of my arms and legs) and not cry. I got up once an hour to go to the bathroom and refill my water. I even sat at the dinner table with my family. But I was in agony!
I slept as much as possible these two days, and I can't blog much more, because I don't remember much. I know that I was in a good amount of pain, and scared that I would not be ready for when my husband goes back to work next week.
My next post, Day 5, will shed a lot of light as to what I was doing wrong.
