Tomorrow is a big day- I finally get to discuss with Dr. S what his opinions were on the surgery and what potentially is the rate of success at this point. He will remove my sutures and recast my foot once again, likely for another 6-8 weeks.
In the meantime I’ve been reducing the dosages of my medication (Oxycodone) for the past few days. I can safely say that I am by no means an addict by the true definition; however I have identified the sneaky wayward style that this medication can creep into your life and your mind. I can spend days sleeping feeling extreme lethargy to the point that I won’t even eat. I will then bounce back and have a tremendous appetite with a rejuvenated spirit.
I’ve also been feeling dazed, forgetful and have had a few sleepless nights. Every time I close my eyes; my body experiences a jerking feeling or weird tremors especially in my affected leg. I have really bad headaches and feelings of nausea. My body aches constantly, although I haven’t figured out if this is due to the effects of the medication or because I’m sitting on my butt all the time! Lather, rinse, repeat.
I find myself a bit irritable and short tempered (haha more than usual!) I will discuss these issues with the Specialist tomorrow.
