@BillyBones How are you guys doing today?
@elmaxx She got 5 hours sleep last night and missed her 4pm pain meds! Woke up in pain, but she's managed a little physical therapy (that hurt), I've taken most of the dressing off, got her some more meds and she's been asleep behind me for the last 2 hours. Best day so far, comparatively speaking!
I just hate having to wake her to tell her I'm going out on deliveries now, and hate leaving her like this anyway, especially disturbing a much-needed sleep even more.
Thanks for checking in! 👍 👊
@BillyBones I'm awake now and hurting lots. I think you jinxed me! 😭 💖
Thank you for the tips and thoughts, @elmaxx. And thank you to everyone else, I'm still in so much pain but still overwhelmed by how amazing everyone is. 💖 💖
Paging @ShazzaRazza & @BillyBones how are you doing?
i know pain is not nice, i had 18 months of physio to rectify a pelvis alignment issue. I hope the pain relief is making a difference.
@Mauve_matelot Wow Eleanor - 18 months? That's awful for you to have gone through (though obviously important). I think one of the things with physio is that by definition they're going to do things you don't want to do, aren't they?

The pain meds are a double-edged sword. The oxycodone is making her really tired but she's still in too much pain to get decent sleep, and has had to wake every 3 hours for meds, so she's been easing off taking them. Partly to avoid addiction, partly because they're leaving her so tired and with brain fog. The flipside is that Ibuprofen isn't really helping. But she's still better than a week ago 💜
@Mauve_matelot I've been trying to get her more into CoSo, but while she's tired, in pain and having the brain fog issues she's finding it hard to get her head around the layout and of course it's her good arm that's broken so typing is a chore. Hence me stepping in for some replies, though she's sitting right behind me and I read everything back to her. So thanks for checking in! ❤️
@ShazzaRazza aww 😞 💜 I’m sorry to hear that you’re still in a lot of pain. Sending lotsa love 💗 and healing (((vibes))) your way! 🤗
