I'm feeling a LOT better. I've even gotten back into playing my video games, so YAY for that! Yeah, I'm a huge nerd/geek, and I'm totally ok with it. Lol. Today, I am finally going bra shopping. I'm excited. I'm moving around a lot easier, although my balance is so horrible I feel like a drunk epileptic octopus missing a few legs. Gee, who'da thunk it? 17 pounds removed from your chest is pretty huge. That's like a big Thanksgiving turkey. Or a small toddler.
Instead of stopping the Tramadol cold turkey, like I sorta did by accident last week, I've been using it very sparingly, but taking at least 1 within 24 hours. I'm almost at 24 hours now, and am going to see how the day goes, see how far I can push it. I do still have some discomfort, but not enough that I feel comfortable with being on a pain killer for it.
My back is still a problem. My lower back feels tight, numb, and like I've got constant pressure on it. However, when I touch it, like scratching it or whatever, I can't feel anything through my back. It's so, so, so much better than it was, though. When I first woke up, it felt like someone replaced my back muscles with concrete, and poured liquid fire down it. It was awful. I plan to see a chiropractor soon, and go from there. I don't really know what can be done for it, other than seeing a chiropractor, and possibly a physical therapist. I'm not going to stress it right now, though. I still need to finish healing up before I get too crazy.
One day at a time.
