I have not had a day without pain since I came home the last time. Sometimes just enough to be an annoyance, and sometimes O M G!!! I can't stand without pain, and walking is almost impossible.
Because I can't stand, I also can't
-- clean up the kitchen
-- put together a decent meal
-- use the vacuum
-- clean the bathroom
-- go shopping (I've been without my banana fix for a few days)
-- can't sit for very long, so TV watching is in full recline
-- moan and groan while cleaning the colostomy bag
-- feel vaguely nauseated
-- toothbrushing a hurry-up job, standing just long enough to spit
-- probably won't make it to shul tomorrow
And there's also the twitching thing. Being mostly immobile, the twitches take advantage. So I'm upping the frequency of the Sinemet and Neurontin. On a happier note, though, when the twitches are under control, I can sleep. I've been doing a lot of that.
Had the CT scan this morning. Dr O'Malley should have results by Monday. Then we'll know if there's a hernia that's causing all the pain. That brings me to Good News. Dr O'M said the colostomy could be repaired as early as next month. Wish me mazal tov on that score.
I'm feeling really crabby and much put-upon, so I'm going to take a Vicodin and go back to bed.
Bless
