Today has been a rough day. Honestly the worst one yet. My bones are aching. The swelling has went down in my hand and forearm but my upper arm and shoulder is still swelled. I feel the tightness of the swelling. Bruising has become very noticeable even with the bandages still on. Those come off tomorrow and I'm afraid to see what is underneath. Since I was already several hours behind this morning with my first dose of medicine I did extend it to every 7 1/2 hours instead of every 6. I've got to wean myself off the Percocet. They are making me sick. I'm going to bring it up at tomorrow's doctor appointment. I'm hoping they will give me a plan to throw in a Motrin or Tylenol in between doses and go longer in-between them. All I've done today is sleep. The Percocet makes me sleepy initially but even then I could not stay awake today. I did not fight it, I know my body needs the sleep to heal. I think I've been awake a grand total of 3 hours and about ready to crash again as soon as I can have Rosie swap out the washer and dryer. Even though there is horrible swelling and a rather ugly looking green and yellow bruise, there is no heat or redness coming from my arm. That at least is a good thing.

Oh poor you. Sleep is good don’t fight it. Hoping you turn the corner soon.

Short term pain long term gain.

Just take it one day at a time, you have passed the 72hr point - which generally is when swelling and pain reaches its peak.

I sure hope your next Dr appt goes well. And I crossing my fingers that your Dr can suggest some additional meds for pain relief.

2 snuggle babies. How did they manage squeezing in there?

playful furries

2 tone feathers: Storm is moulting early and loving the ants (dunno why, they aren't winged)

I love your landscape photos and I find it funny how those two little ones are sandwiched together.

Those 2, I haven't figured out how they sandwiched in there. Haven't had chicks do that before.

The scenic pics, my phone camera doesn't do them justice. I'm gobsmacked....daily by the views.

They're trying to hide from Maizie, who has a large personal bubble around her when roosting....and enforces it....to the adults too. Deep winter it changes, but otherwise, she likes a good 2 feet clear on either side of her.

Love Storm's coloring and happy to see the furries getting along!
I got the storm but no pretty sky - just a LOT of rain and a lot of branches down blocking my way out.
