I have not been on the site for awhile. I spent the last week in De-tox of all things. I ran out of my pain meds and by the time I got more I was already in the begining stages of de-tox. I threw up every 20 minutes for 36 hours and was sick to my stomach for another 3 days after that. I was also running a temp until Tuesday of this week! IT WAS HELL ON EARTH!! It really has taken over a week to get my diet back on track and feeling better.

I swear the pain meds they give you in hospital seem great at the time but getting off of them is a killer. If I didnt run out I am sure it would have been easier but either way I think some form of De-tox was going to happen. I have been on pain pills for almost 10 months if you can believe it.

Good news, my surgically repaired hip finally feels much better and I can tolerate the pain without any medication other than a few ibuprofen each day.

I am very anxious to get off the crutches and stop using the walker but I cant put any weight on my leg at least another month.

I have also had a blood test last week as precaution and my counts are great. So good news on that front as well.

Everyone take care!!
