4 weeks since I’ve been home from the hospital. I think I slept better than last night but I was up and down for a while. I feel fairly rested and I didn’t take pain meds again. Just another dose of aspirin around midnight as I recall. Today’s walk seemed harder than yesterdays by a … Read more
I didn’t take a pain pill last night and had a hard time finding a comfortable sleeping position. It wasn’t the pain or even much discomfort but probably missing the relaxation that comes from the pain pills. I’ll persist. I think I slept pretty solidly after 4am. Got up around 7 and took a mile … Read more
Slept ok though I think I’m going to stop taking pain pills. I had an especially vivid nightmare and I’ve heard those can crop up when the pain pills are affecting less pain. I slept well outside of that which was nice. Went on a grocery outing with my mom. Then spent the morning and … Read more

Did some cooking … Read more
I slept ok though I took a second pain pill. We all went to the Meadowlands in Sloughhouse, CA for brunch which was nice. It was more a nice drive there than nice food. I still prefer Roxy on Fair Oaks Blvd (their other restaurant). After we got back, my Girlfriend and I took a … Read more
