Standard update
The bruises that covered my left leg (picture forthcoming) have started to yellow a bit around the edges. Good. I was afraid they were spreading. Because for a little while there, they were.
The oxycodone (a slow-release over 12 hours painkiller, instead of the more immediate painkillers I've had) prescription got finished yesterday, so I am now down to just two pain medications: Vicodin and ibuprofen (3 pills, 3 times a day). I had finally gotten to the point where I could sleep through the night. No more. Now I'm back to waking up roughly 4 hours after I fall asleep, precisely when the painkiller wears off, to take more painkiller. And I'm usually a really heavy sleeper! And I'm feeling moderate, low-level discomfort constantly, with spikes up into "oh god this sucks" territory.
On the other hand, I'm now enough in the here-and-now that I've started writing on my laptop on the couch. Since I'm lying on the couch all day anyway. I write more slowly and get distracted more easily, but progress is being made.
Watched the beginning of The Sopranos last night, via Netflix. Am somewhat disappointed. So far it is not something I feel the need to continue watching.
