Surgery and Post surgery

Thursday I went in around 4 and came out around 7-7:30. Thursday night was rough as the anesthesia wore off and the Norco set in, 2 AM was the height of the pain. I was better Friday and Saturday. I went off the Norco on Saturday night and had a fitful sleep. Sunday Afternoon I went to the classroom and did some typing in preparation for the Sub. I had originally intended on going in on Monday, but didn't make it. Sunday night was by far my best sleep and left me feeling great all Monday. I think I did too much monday as I walked around with my strap of the sling off. It felt comfortable to just press the block against my ribs withouth the strap, so I did it. Plus the sling does not feel as supportive as I thought it would. I went to bed that night without confining my arm to the sling and I woke up around 1:30 with major pain in my shoulder radiating down the side of my armpit down to my bicep. It felt like I was being injected ny a needle over and over. I feel like in addition to the work I had done with my arm on monday along with wandering night arm, I had hurt my muscles. It took an hour for vicodin to set in along with an ice pack for me to get any relief. It hurt badly. Tuesday and I'm taking it easy again, knowing I AM going to work tomorrow.
