I finally starting dosing around 2. At 6 I got up and turned on the news. 4 ibuprofen and 7 am I'm baking blueberry oatmeal muffins. A cup of Hazelnut coffee. Ah, that helps anything. Ran the dishwasher, put un a load of clothes and roamed around in my back yard for awhile enjoying the birds, plants and flowers. And no, I didn't unload the dishwasher....left that for my helping husband.
Being up was much more comfortable than trying to sit or lay on the couch or bed. When I did have to sit down I rigged up a way to put something behind my lower back and it kept my lower area to touch anything. It's hard to explain, but even doing that I could feel the pressure from the bottom area. I just made the best of it and got through the day. It always seems to get worse at night. Why is that?
Tomorrow is a new day so if I sleep a little more tonight even that will make tomorrow a little better. The day after surgery is always the hardest to me. Which means it should get a little easier each day. If not I'll just have to find some more things to do standing! I have some ironing I've been putting of for some time now.
A while back I ordered a glass water bottle what has a reamer on top to add fresh lemon, lime, orange or whatever mixture you want to try. I drank a full bottle of lemon water first. Then I had a bottle of lime water. I put lime or lemon in my water a lot to add some flavor to it. I don't really care for flavored bottled water. I've never liked putting the lemon down in my glass. The built in reamer allows you to keep the water free from germs and pesticides on the skins. For some reason it always taste better from glass instead of plastic.
