Alrighty so I broke down and took a tsp. of the Lortab knowing that I needed to sleep and knowing that the Lortab would probably put me down right where I was in whatever position I fell LOL I was right. I slept from 3am to 6:30 and helped get my boys ready for school then climbed back into bed before 7am and slept until 9:30. I know I needed to rest but I really HATE how the Lortab left me feeling. I hope to avoid it tonight......I did let my husband know how irritating he was when he rolled over. He flip plopped pretty rough and threw his hand at me. He actually appologised

usually he's the kind that says "like I can help it, I was asleep."

I don't like how I feel when I get up. I feel really bloated and all my muscles in my back are in tight little balls. I keep trying to get myself to relax my stomach muscles and give my back a break but it ain't happening.

My legs feel pretty weak when I walk which makes me kind of sad becuase I have always had such nice muscular legs. When I feel more up to it, like when I am recovered fully of course, I will look into getting some rollerblading in so as to not atrophe or burn all my leg muscles.

I have been walking, and trying to stand up straight. Weird how I can't seem to do both right now, must be from my muscles in my back being tight. I do enjoy the wlaking though, getting out for short periods. I am only walking around my complex because we live at the top of a very steep hill and I know I am not ready to walk that yet. I'd liek to get a pedometer so I can see how far I am walking and make sure I am adding to it daily. Don't want to become stagnant.

I have a pain in my upper left arm, well not so much a pain as a dull pressure. I think it's from gas that was in my shoulder. It's nothing unbearable, just thought i'd throw it out there to see in anyone had any suggestions. I'm chewing up my Gas-X as I type.

I have found burping much less productive since I left the hospital but I have been passing gas. I learned to always go to the bathroom and have a seat so as not to have an accident. More often than not I am only passing gas but sometimes I have some watery stools and I would hate to misjudge LOL Now that would be a mess.

As for this nasty ass taste in my mouth.......grose. I seriously thought my husbands c-pap machine was blowing his rancid breath in my face last night but let me tell you this.....it was my own breath

Even after brushing my teeth it's still grose and it makes my Propel have an after taste of really old coffee grounds. Yuck you say? Well it's worse than that......attemping to get 4 oz of "old coffee grounds" down an hour isn't real high on my "Yay, I really want to do that today" list

I will have to get someone to get me some Listerine pocket packs....i heard they help with the breath.

What is was everyones favorite flavor of Propel when they were early out? Right now I have peach, grape and melon and they are all grose now. Ok maybe grose is a bit harsh, they are drinkable but still yucky LOL

Ok I am off for now.
