The Percocet is not very strong. I cannot sleep well when I take it. I remain awake just barely and restless. Thursday night I decided to take the Percocet and melatonin. It worked. I slept over eight hours.
I also slept on my back so shoulder would not be in a strain and pain. I had to lie with feet pointed out so toes would not be mashed by blankets.
We planned to go to Cullman to get the forms and instructions for filing our taxes. We could not find them down here. Of course, I have been encouraging Tommy to pick them up from a library nearby. But, it is done. Tommy needed to go in PO to pay for my PO box. We got a burger and headed home after we ate.
I slept for three hours and we went grocery shopping. Four bags of salad fixings were the top of my list--blueberries, 2 cottage cheese, 2cabbages, two jars of Orville Redenbacher's air pop popcorn, 4 bananas, cookie dough, Special K, bread, maybe something else.
Something strange has happened to my right hip, the one I fell onto that never hurt for four days. I thought someone in icu had hit my hip point and asked them what they did. Well, nothing. After they left the room. i had a huge pain again. Now, there is a huge knot and lots of pain. Tommy says there is a big bruise.
My lymphedema leg pumps are sitting idle since I am afraid to use the pressure on the wound. I am not suppose to use upper legs and pelvis to exercise or do anything strenuous. Pedaling is out, too.
Keep your fingers crossed I can sleep.
