Mornings are the worst. Even though I'm sleeping on the couch so I can ensure my foot stays elevated all night long, even though I sleep with the game ready on my foot and turn it on if I ever roll over half awake in the nighttime, even though I take a demerol before bed, the morning kills me. So much pain, so uncomfortable, the feeling of this

oh poor girl! i'm sorry. i remember! i got all nastily addicted to demerol during my double bunionectomy. i didn't want to FEEL anything that was happening with my body.

thanks lady.
i still have NO IDEA how you had both done! i can't even walk on my bunionectomied foot! as in, i can't put ANY weight down on it. how on earth did you get around?
and how long before you were well again?
it's been ten days but it feels like ten YEARS.

i cried a lot! and took a lot of drugs! and i walked on my heels, and people had to stand on either side of me to offer support for the first few days, but i made it happen.

really a lot of the experience is a bleary-druggy-depresso blur for me. i can't remember how long anything took. definitely an experience that has shaped me into the TOUGH MOTHERFUCKER i am now (at least in regards to pain), ha.
