My chest clinic appointment went well! They took out my stitches, which surprisingly didnt hurt. I really expected it to hurt since my side is very sensitive. I also spoke to them about the numbness in my fingers and my pain. They are not concerned with the numbness right now. it is expected that my hand just resolves itself. As for my pain? Well there isnt any point of taking potent narcotics if they are not helping my pain. So they are taking me off of them and trying something else. Im going to be put on an anti-inflammatory, with a pain releiver at nights only. It cant hurt to try since Im already in pain as is. Getting off the pain relievers will also help my tummy issues. So it should be a win win.
Other than that Im doing okay. Im settled back into my recliner and resting. My mom just left after putting Elliot to bed for me. I managed to eat a sandwich for dinner tonight. Its the most Ive eaten all day. My appetite still hasnt returned. The doctor is insisting that I eat something small at least 3x a day. Thats going to be hard for me to do. I just have no appetite at all. With the pain and everything its hard to imagine eating with how I feel.
So thats the gist of everything. Everything looks good and Im healing well. Im to be expected for another 6 weeks of pain before I can do what I was normally. I see the doctor in 6 weeks for a clearance to go back to normal. Until then I just take it day by day.
