There’s no way he keeps it that neat by himself. Where are the beer cans? Dirty underwear? I’m just imagining her there scrubbing the floor while she yells “THIS WOMAN BETTER NOT THINK SHE CAN STEAL MY DAD” and he’s watching tv eating cheese puffs

I basically wasn’t using my machine for 3-4 weeks. First I had to go off all my pain meds in preparation for a surgery, so that was two weeks of withdrawal (I have so much more empathy for addicts now omg) then two weeks post surgery I was obviously very uncomfortable/in pain, and it was just too difficult to fall asleep with the mask on.

I would get hit with that unshakable exhaustion out of nowhere, nap on the couch, and wake up still feeling like shit.

Past 3-4 days I’ve been able to fall asleep with it on and god I feel so much better.

I’m two weeks post op, I have gone in twice to titrate up my normal dose and my bolus amount. I have fentanyl and bupivicane in the pump right now.

I’m noticing that when I give myself a bolus, I tend to get this increased pain. It feels like my muscles are exceptionally tight. It’s even prompting pain in areas that don’t typically bother me.

Any idea why this could be happening? My next appointment is a week from today, should I try to get in before the weekend to change something?

We didn’t have chocolate chips. He made a visit to the store just for chocolate chips.

I’m also on my third week of surgery recovery. He’s done every bedtime, made every meal, done every load of laundry, and not pestered me for sex once.

Stop accepting less than the bare minimum from your men. Stop letting them show your children that this is an acceptable way to treat your spouse. Leaving might be difficult, but it doesn’t need to mean you put up with disrespect.

Sometimes I have to wait 8 or 9 months between releases, maybe even a year! By the time the next book in the series comes out I’ve forgotten everything I read. How do others deal with these interminable delays between books?

I’m at home on the couch, no longer in withdrawal (thank FUCK). I have to spend as much time on my back as possible the next to weeks in order to heal up and avoid a headache. Also going in to my pain doc every week for the next month to titrate up my dose.

The incision is starting to hurt but it’s not terrible yet. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
