So these past three days have been something else, I'll tell you!  First of all, I quit smoking, so I was going through some sort of withdrawals there.  The pain at times was extraordinary, leaving me incredibly exhausted pretty much all day.  We'd counter this with two oxycodone about every four hours.  Basically with all this simultaneously going on, doing anything other than sleeping was a waste of time.  I'd try to play PS3 and simply forget what I was playing.  My super media setup went kaput once or twice and my oxy-mind only made it worse.

Today, though, I feel more on top of it, even with the oxycodone.  I think the quitting smoking was really making life weird there, not that I was jonesing or anything, but I could tell a great cloudy-headed confusion was permeating all other aspects of my suffering.  Still doing fine on that, btw.

I know my typing etc is quite poor right now.  I'm having a hard time still concentrating even on this dumb post.  I see Dr. Wukich at around 2:00 today.  I'm gonna see if I can score some xray images.

So I believe in my last entry I said I couldn't wait for my surgery, cause I had such a bad ass media center setup and games and and and...

First of all, if they suggest you stay an extra night, stay the extra night.  Most likely it's because your anesthesia is about to wear off and they can help control the pain better.  This is my hunch, anyways.  It's a hunch based on being up all night moaning in retardedly bad pain.

The oxycodin wasn't doing shit.  I couldn't get comfortable to sleep (I decided to quit smoking too with all this).  They say to elevate your foot to lessen pain.  I am finding that every time I do that, I get a good massive 10+ minutes of ouch.  A nice hard steady surface seems to be what the doctor ordered.  I'll have my foot up on like 6 pillows, and it starts screaming at me as if I'm squeezing it or something.  Soon as I take it off and just lie it on the bed, everybody seems calm for awhile.

I've tried playing some games and other stuff today.  I think I'm so exhausted from the pain and oxycodin that I just can't keep it all in order.

Hey, a walker is a good thing to have.
