So, I've had this patch on for over a day now. It kind of works...
...but, I woke up in sooooooooo much pain. It's like when you haven't taken your pills at the right times or you sleep through the alarms you set to wake you up to take your pills and it hurts to move, breath, even think about doing anything.
The doctor said I could take a codomol (can't remember if it was co-dy or co-co so I've been taking co-dy [not that I understand the difference between the two]).
That wasn't the last time today I had to top up... everything is a lot more achey and some things (obviously I can't do all the things everyone else does but I find ways to do my own things) I can normally do on all my pills just cause a knock-on effect that takes about 3 seconds that makes me scream out in pain asking for something to help. Plus, when I was hopping to lounge I forgot to readjust my leg/knee immobiliser (because if I don't do it before I hop it starts to slide/fall down) and it fell/slid and pulled down on my knee and it hurt SOOOOO much! ever since then my leg has been killing me which just made cleaning me even worse and THAT is normally a laugh and a half... Imagine me sitting on the lid of the loo with my leg up in the air leaning on the edge of the sink and my head leaning on the edge of the bath... and that's JUST for washing my hair. For my body, I sit on the edge of the bath in my bra and knickers whilst gripping hard on one of the grab rails with one leg down hard on the bottom of the bath and my bad leg hovering outside on the other side of the bath and then my mum helps clean me and then she closes her eyes whilst I clean my lady bits.
Now, I'm about to take Tramadol after two sets of co-dy and then going to 'hopefully' sleep.
Not looking good for this patch thing!
:/
*huggles* for everyone!!
Oh, if any of you are having a hard time getting your friends and family to understand everything going on with you then you should read and send on the spoon theory
