Yes you're right @outlander ... a two night escape with your sister tagging along ... was not a break!
You really need at least a 2 week getaway ... to relax, recharge and just be. No responsibilities, no bickering grumpy Pop complaining about everything, no spoiled siblings wanting to you to do everything for them. Can dream Li'l One.
You mentioned notifications earlier ... My email notifications come in up to 3 days late over the past week or more. Its very annoying. I think the New Notifications symbol is coming through pretty much on time, but most definitely not the email notifications.
Thanks for asking ... overall pain levels from surgical wounds have improved over last day or two. Swelling much reduced as well. I continue to have quite severe nerve pain in my left arm however. But I have nerve pain medication and pain patches for my back injury from which I also get nerve pain from ... and after checking ... I can use them for my surgical nerve pain as well. So I have started using the meds today. Hoping it helps. wont use the pain patches yet, as I still have open wounds where they are best placed.
I visited my GP practice this afternoon, and thats where I asked about the use of my nerve pain meds/patches. The nurse also removed my surgical dressings and checked wounds. They are healing well. But I have to say ... it all looks pretty gruesome. I'm sure they hacked out bigger chunks then planned. Though I'm sure it will improve over time. Anyway it feels a little better without all the waterproof heavy dressings, especially since the weather has been very hot this week. I now have just a light cloth tape dressing over both incisions. Big day Wednesday next week ... I see my psych in the morning and my surgeon in the afternoon.
I'm off to bed now .... so will say good night. I hope you get at least a few restful hours of sleep tonight sweetie.
