Long road ahead

I’m only three days post op and i’ve already had this “sleeping twitch” twice….which not only hurts but scares the crap out of me.  While sleeping my foot/leg with “jump” or “twitch” causing my foot to move, achilles to stretch and me to wake up in pain.  Anyone else suffer from this problem?  It is concerning to me since I’m not far from having surgery and I’m worried about rerupture or pulling out the staples…

It is not something I can control ( i don’t think at least ), so i’m just hoping it doesn’t happen often or make the injury any worse.

I had my surgery yesterday morning and it seemed like I was in and out of the hospital here in Boston in a flash.  I went into surgery at 7:30am and was home by 1pm ( i live about two miles from the hospital, but still).  My doctor said the surgery “went well” and while I was still very woozy I went home.  Getting up the stairs on my butt was completely exhausting but afterwards I was able to get some sleep.  Some family members came over last night and we got take out which was nice (it is always nice to have visitors).  All in all I thought things were going really well considering the circumstances of the day. 

BUT I tried going to sleep last night and that is when the local pain blocker shot wore off and I was just using the pain meds….I am on Oxycodone but it didn’t seem to do a thing last night (or this morning for that matter), anyone else have problems with this pain med not working well?  I couldn’t seem to get comfortable and was in pain all night…maybe an hour of sleep.  Anyone have any suggestions on the most comfortable way to sleep etc?  I continue to be in pain this morning and hope that it will get a little better as the day goes on.

I just keep telling myself that at this point, every minute that goes by I should be getting a little better….doesn’t feel like it yet, but i’m at least on the road to recovery now after waiting it out for the last 9 or 10 days.
