Early wake up

Its been a rough night. Its now 4 am, and Im wide awake in pain. So far this idea of weaning off the narcotic pain meds isnt working well. It did teach me that apparently the other meds were working a bit better than I thought. Im now chilling with an ice pack on my side, and thats helping. Sucks to wake up groggily, try to remember where you are, and suddenly hurt really really badly. Its quite the wake up. The joys of being me.

Ive woken up quite a few times in the past few hours. Im still sooooo groggy. I have a feeling that Im already feeling the effects of getting out of the house yesterday. Car rides really hurt. A person really doesnt notice all the bumps in a road until you have something painful that hurts at every little movement. I travel with a pillow held to my chest/lung area, which helps. I just dont advise getting out often. So far the few times Ive gotten out since surgery I pay for it later in pain. Its always less painful to stay at home in the recliner. (that kinda sounds like a quote) :) I amuse myself...lol.

I forgot to mention, Elliot crawled up into my lap today. It was very sweet. I havent really gotten to hold my baby since Im not allowed to pick him up, and hes too wiggly for me to hold. Well today he crawled up into my lap and decided to take a nap!!! I loved it....and snapped a picture :)
