No more narcotics!

Well, Friday I took off the Fentanyl patch. After physically getting sick in the afternoon, I figured enough was enough and removed it. I have been surviving all weekend on just Tylenol. I am feeling much better, but my throat is still very sore. It feels like the muscles that are on the side of my throat are bruised. I really hurts to yawn - an aside, do you ever notice how even just typing the word y-a-w-n that it makes you do it? crazy huh? - it hurts like hell to sneeze too. I didn't realize that part. I knew about the yawn (made you do it huh?) part, as I have been fighting that daily, but yesterday I sneezed. Holy mother of all that is good! That hurt!!! So, from now on, if I have to sneeze, I am holding that one in!

On a related note, DQ woke up last night a little before 3am because she wet the bed. After getting her cleaned up and settled in on her little pull out couch on the floor in our room, I could not go back to sleep. The last time I looked at the clock, it read 4:38. BD's alarm goes off at 4:50. I got him up and promptly passed back out until 7:30. I am heading off to catch a few more hours (hopefully) of zzzz's before I get up and go to work for the first time in over two weeks. I got the doctor to at least let me work half days until my appointment on Wednesday afternoon. Then hopefully, he'll let me go back full days Thursday and Friday.

Your recovery from surgery makes me REALLY hope I never have to have my tonsils out.

Glad you are on the road to recovery though!
