Pain is no fun!

Well, I now know sometimes it is smart to take the pain meds as ordered. Rough first night after surgery. I usually get really nausedated from pain meds, so I tried to avoid them and that was a big mistake. Today, packed in ice and elevated with pain meds on board is much better. My leg feels dead and very swollen, like my knee cap is going to pop off. I have moved off the couch about 4 times in the past 24 hours. I love my couch today. Next, bon bons and Oprah reruns.
