24 hours

Over 24 hours and no more pain - this is really all there is, or it's a very delayed problem. I've stopped the anti-nausea medicine, and am still low-dosing the pain med (oxycodone) while taking the anti-anflamitory as directed. I can feel some more little pains, but nothing that keeps me from moving. This is far better than my best predictions, and completely unlike anything I've seen in reports online.

I can sit, crutch-stand, move around, lay, roll...I just sort of navy showered. I feel twinges but mostly this is all under my control.

I might be able to work in 2 weeks, and am really sure I'll be off crutches. I will wait a day or so before weaning off the pain meds.

3pm Mon I see the doctor for my first post-op visit.
