So today I tried to get fully off the narcotic pain medications. There are a couple of reasons this is important; first, I have just over 25 years of recovery and am petrified about relapsing; and, second I have a severe sensitivity to these medications.
What this means for me is, I have to have a patch and a pill just in order to be able to take these medications.
Well, not only do I struggle with opioids, I also cannot take aspirin or any anti-inflammatories as those slow down bone healing.
A little over 24 hours of just Tylenol and I give. Uncle! Uncle! Uncle!
A new patch, another pill and Percocet.
Now, tender tummy, laying down, not sure how I am going to feel for the rest of the day.
Pain level - 2
Nausea level - 4
Spirit - hanging in there.
