Good Morning.

May all be well or on the mend.

I just wanted to drop by and say, "Hey!"

Hey!

I have been away for awhile. Sorry. I'll try to get caught up with all the happenings and goings on. Ha!

Please know my SKMB family and friends are always in my mind. (Prayers, good vibes, well wishes and love and all green lights.)

Peace.

Good morning! Still cold and quiet here - I try to keep it very quiet so as not to wake the kiddies. They'll be wanting their pancakes and bacon and I have to go get some syrup - we're out. Don't ya hate it when you forget something like that on your big grocery shop, so you got to go back out just for the one thing? Ugh! But it'll be hours yet before they wake up hopefully.

I've started the coffee for all y'all!

Only if it's sugar free, Holly. My daughter actually made me pancakes, and eggs this morning. :)
Frank, I am getting stronger every day. Thank you for asking. I have very little pain, but man does it hurt to cough, or laugh. Yesterday, I sneezed, and I thought I was coming apart! Not fun.
You have stitches? Gosh, I don't know what a person does if they really need to cough and shouldn't. As for not laughing, what a bummer. They should give you a tranquilizer.

Yup, I have stitches. I have 5 incisions, less than a inch across. The one that hurts the most is the upper right side of my tummy. They gave me a prescription of Percocet, but I don't want to take them. That is a strong pain reliever. Even in the hospital I wouldn't take them. I take 2 extra strength Tylenol, and I'm good.
One nurse was funny. The night of my surgery she wanted to know if I wanted a pain killer, and I told her I didn't need any. She looked at me, and said, 'you're not lying are you?' I told her I wasn't, and she said she never had a patient that didn't complain! So, her and, I bickered the rest of the night! She made me smile.

Lots of folks don't want to take meds at all; pain meds being a popular choice to avoid. But, I think the reason in that case often has to do with fear of addiction. If that's the case - and I mention it for your sake but also for anyone else maybe listening - that it usually takes quite a while of using a pain med like Percocet even against doctor's orders before any measurable tolerance is realized. So, if you rest the pain med for that reason it's probably not well-founded enough that it should concern you. Of course, if the Tylenol is doing the trick, that's better, since the Percocet could cause you not to feel pain you need to feel in order to protect your injury.
