Sitting in front of the compter- baby steps

Ok- this one was much harder than it should have been.  I have been home, not doing much.  For the most part my day consisted of going from the couch to going to bed to going to the couch, etc.  I was just trying to find a place to get comfortable.  This occurred after the radiation.

I was on a schedule of meds after New Years Day to help with the pain in the hip. During "post radiation" days corresponding to  Deanna's day offs, I had a couple of instances where the pain was just so intense, or I just had a hard time getting out of a chair.  Deanna contacted the doc, and now I am on an extended release Morphine.  This seems to be doing what it needs to be doing, sleeping better and rarely I have pain that the meds aren't helping with.  That got old really quick.   That's the importance of help.  If anyone thinks they can do this alone, they cant.  Because of Deanna we got the stronger meds, and my days are better.

The doc is tomorrow, and this could go in 100 different directions.  I am grateful that she is so free with her appointments.  This appointment is 1 week earlier than originally scheduled.  This one we will discuss further treatment plans, I am sure review my pain management stuff, and other things. 

So what are baby steps.  Standing up and sitting in front of the computer for a little while.  Kind of different than my recliner.  I am going to try to get out today, the more I do the more I will be able to do.  But I cant think for a minute that I can start over going 100 miles an hour.  The radiation side effects this time really got me.  But hopefully this week will be a nice steady recovery. 

Hopefully I can get back to living my life again quickly.  Thanks to all who have been keeping up with this.
