Update on Achilles Surgery and Recovery

Ok. I haven't written in a while, so I thought I'd better get caught up on some stuff. Friday, I figured out that my pain medicine would run out on Saturday. So I called the doctor's office and they phoned in a refill to my prescription. Jim picked it up and brought it home during his many errands on Friday. So I started taking it Friday night and by Saturday morning about 2am, I had shooting pains in my heel. GREAT! Just GREAT! The stuff didn't work. Needless to say, I called to ask for something better and they said "too bad". The couldn't call in a narcotic. I'd have to wait it out. UGH!

So by Monday, when I could talk to my doctor's assistant I was kinda over it all. Yes, I was waking up every night with shooting pains, but at the same time I was totally awake and coherent. It's a hard trade off. So now I'm debating do I really want to take the stuff. My leg is numb/sore all day... but.... ugh Oh well.

Anyway. Keep up the prayers! I'm doing well. Jim is too. He is busting his butt - working hard. I'm grateful!
