finished ???
took the last little bit of pain medication right after midnight Friday ... second day of no opiates now ... the dreaded withdrawal symptoms never quite showed up ... sure, some cramping, odd twitches here and there, a headache which still lingers on, an increased level of inactivity with bouts of having to walk quickly around the house ... even having read much on symptoms this is an unusual result ... maybe because i stretched out the severity of them by taking a full month to reduce the amount i took each day ... longer than i wanted to take --never wanted to be on these, hips dictated otherwise, needs must-- and perhaps the best way for me to approach stopping my dependence on them ... now i'm stuck with more pain than i am used to with only advil for relief !!!
lolol ... on my own head be it, i bloody well asked for this and walked right in, eyes wide open, determined to be finished with the physical need for them and plumb forgot the hip might not be as ready for this as i thought ...
ah well, i'll deal with it, and might even ask for something stronger for a breakthrough med, now and then, this can't go on too much longer ... the hip is healing well, and i need to get out more for walking and such, muscles are still weak from years of not using them fully and the only thing i know, for sure, to strengthen them is walking a lot, just wish it didn't hurt quite as much as it does ... i have to remind me it has only been seven weeks since the operation, often ...
;P
