Day 6
I'm in a lot less pain but the leg numbness continues with a vengeance. I'm finding that if a split a Vicodin in half and take it at 2 or 3 hour intervals, it works much better for me. I can actually follow a movie plot or read a book which makes the time more pleasant. Tried a percocet yesterday and spent the day staring at the ceiling. Bambi meets Godzilla.
I haven't taken a walk outside yet but would feel confidant to do so. It's raining and cold so I just tromp down my hallways. I also think, Vicodin aside, I'd also be good to drive. Can't imagine where I'd go though, I'm still walking very quite slowly and still feel a little too vulnerable to be out by myself.
Meanwhile I have folks coming over with entertainment of all kinds: books, DVD's, games, and GREAT food. In fact my family has never eaten so well. They'll probably want me to do this more often!
