WTH?? Whatever it was, I'd stay the hell away from it. It's nuts.

Skunks and bears will do that.

Nope, not going near it.
Hope that critter comes back and finishes the job.

Skunks and bears will do that.

Yep. Had this happen before on a nest I killed with hot water, did some googling and learned that skunks will dig them up for the larvae. Tho I haven't smelled skunk around here for a few years, I'm sure they are still around.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

I'm starting to figure out this pain pattern. It's at its worst when I first get up (before I've taken a dose of pain meds). I can walk off some of the pain. I need to start trusting my leg. It's not the same as before where it wants to lock up or give out. Just gently walking helps lightly stretch the muscles and nerve and calm it down to a tolerable level while the pain meds take effect. Then ice.
I'm currently managing the pain with 75% of the prescribed dose of Percocet. I'll have to do a full dose on PT days but that won't be for a while. I can do this.

I hope the pain calms down for you soon.

I hope the pain calms down for you soon.

I'm sure it will take time. It's already better than when the leg pain first came back.
As long as my family keeps helping me, I'll be able to just focus on slow steady progress and not worry about my animals or my house going to hell.
So far, so good.
Oddly the thing that's giving me the biggest challenge is peeling my shirt off my back whenever I stand up. It gives me the creeps!

 

[pennyJo1960]

That part would creep most of out.

Why is it sticking?

Why is it sticking?

Residual adhesive and a little bit of oozage.

Did all the steri-strips come off in the shower?
It would drive me nuts not to be able to see it.
