Day 2: homebound

I was woken up and was definitely cranky. They took my morphine away and made me start using my syringe. (Let me tell you, I will never ever take straws for granted again). I was discharged around 2pm and I left with 2 pages of prescriptions. I felt great when I got home. I had some of my good pain meds as well as an ibuprofen shot in my rear. However, this most definitely wore off by the next morning. I was unable to sleep through the night. I migrated all throughout the house to find somewhere more comfortable but I was never satisfied. Swelling was my big issue, that and numbness. I just want to be able to drink from a straw dammit. I miss dr pepper more than anything. Anyway, I got settled in at home and things started looking up.

I'm almost 21 years old and I'm still relying on my stuffed giraffe for comfort. No judgment.
