I was supposed to take the vicodin and anti-inflammatory at separate times and diligently writing every time I took them so I wouldn’t get them confused. Its weird, I spend so much time focused on , “When do i take my next pain pill?” Because of sleeping the night before and the time passing, I ended up starting my pain meds simultaneously all day yesterday. By night time and the 4th round of pills,I was very nauseus and my stomach went, “out you go”.
At the same time, I am getting a cramp on my leg and I broke down crying. Its not easy carrying this apparatus in my leg. Its so bulky and since it is drilled by about 10 thick pins from below my knees to my foot, it also feels very uncomfortable.
And on top of that my foot is recovering from the other surgery of removing my old plates and pins. So I went from bionic ankle to a shishkobob on my ankle. So here I am feeling the pain. I decided to take extra strength Tylenol to give my stomach a break. The thing is that I am feeling the pain more raw. I have to see how long I can tolerate it. I am trying to get off the pain pills.
