Well, my rash is gone(ish). I diagnosed myself with an allergy to pain medication, stopped the medication, took some Benadryl and a nice long nap, and started feeling better. I haven’t taken the pain meds since and I seem to be alright. So, that’s nice. I’ve been managing any pain or discomfort with Motrin. And chocolate. Oh, and Harry and David pears (shout out to Angela and Matt).
On a side note, I think going off the pain pills has made my stomach upset. The bad news is I’ve been throwing up a lot. The good news is I look a little thinner. You gotta find the good in everything, my friends.
So, overall I’m managing. There are pros and cons to the situation. For example, a pro is that apparently you don’t have to pay for parking if you have a handicapped placard. A con is that my left calf muscle looks all pathetic. I always had really nice calves (thank you, ballet) but now I’m going to have to build that one back up.
Ah yes, and I started drinking again. So, that’s helped.
It's not a bomb, it's just my hip replacement...
