Feeling much butt-er and January 29, 2009
Oh I have gained 7 lbs in 10 days. Inactivity, poor food choices and meds are lethal combo. Not to mention the consipation monster is winning, winning, winning. I had never taken vicodin before, now that I know its impact on my system, I may never take it again. I never had to eat prunes, until I met Vicodin. There are current two bags of the dried plum tasty treats chilling in fridge as we speek.
Joy… I am feeling much better… thank you! Making Ibuprofin and ice packs (or ass packs as I lovingly refer to them) my main crutches in getting through sitting all day. I did try to tread mill for 15 minutes last night and got through 12 and then ran straight to the ass pack. I have come a long way though! 
The winds are wild here tonight and I fully expect to wake up surrounded by little people, some one’s little black dog, and a floating orb. If I make it back from the emerald city by tomorrow, I’ll check back in!
Ha! Sounds like you’re feeling those vicodins. Took me a minute to get what you were saying, but now I get it. I’ve had some Lortabs from the dentist this week. I only really needed it on Monday but there’s still a half a bottle left… I’ll have to put them away though for some time when there is pain I don’t wanna deal with because it does make you lazy, dumb, numb, constipated and unable to focus on diet and exercise. I gained 2.5 lbs that night after the root canal. Sucking down Coke and eating comfort foods along with the pain killer.
I sure hope your pain goes away soon and you’re literally up and running ASAP.
Good job getting on that treadmill even for a few minutes! I am glad that you are doing better.
Have a nice weekend.
Joy
Ouch! Yeah, I work in a home health and hospice office- so we see the med effects allll the time. We actually joke that our job is all P&P- Poop and pain! But, way to go with the treadmill! (And has someone who has injured my tailbone before- long live the ass pack!)
Click those ruby slippers, girl, and come on home!
