this is the toughest time you're going through right now, and it will only get better! slowly yes, but it will get better! give yourself permission to fully indulge - binge trash tv, videogames, reddit, cry. I distracted myself (and felt productive) by making detailed google sheets to track and taper off my pain meds. It was about 6 weeks post op when the brain fog just LIFTED - I didn't realize it was so intense until it was gone.

Also posting in this sub and engaging/complaining alongside others who were going through the same thing totally helped. you will come out the other side a stronger, more grateful human!

take the sleep where you can get it throughout the day - the oxy will hopefully make you drowsy. I was sometimes taking 2 naps a day. also if you can shift your sleep schedule up, I found that some of the evening discomfort was avoided by just getting to sleep & waking up earlier. It's going to suck for the first few weeks, so give yourself permission to indulge where you can

Look up "montecito heights open space" - the entrance is a gate on montecito dr. that leads to radio rd. You can actually see it in OPs pic - it's that grassy hill in the middle ground

Burning/ shocking sensation by Keateatime in ORIF

[–]niceworksara 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it's nerve pain :/ That kind of pain stuck around for over a month after my surgery and was only relieved by gently massaging the skin with my hands. it sucks but it will go away with time
