Trying to get off of painkillers
I’ll try to use Tylenol tonight instead of Norco. I have only needed the pain killers at night, so hopefully I can go through the night with just OTC painkillers. During the day the pain only comes, when I stand up and the pain rushes to the foot and the feeling of throbbing occurs. Not sure if there’s away around that.
Tree on a sunny fall day
Today was a sunny fall day, it was beautiful outside with the sun and the fall leaves on the ground. Last night I went out for the first time since the surgery to the library to get new dvds and today, a friend came over for lunch — a nice way to break up the week.
Thanks for the advice on the crutches, I’ll look into cycle gloves. For now I’ve wrapped towels around the handles to at least spread out the weight over a broader surface area — seems to help. Anyone ever use a roll-a-bout?
