The tape from the gauze bandages pulls on my skin all day and is really aggravating. I switched to Band-Aids tonight and I put a small Band-Aid over the top of my incision and went over each of the drain scabs. It was way less irritating. I really want everything to heal up and I’m hoping that that happens soon.
The pain is definitely way better, but I’m still constantly aware of my chest muscles in my chest. Some of it maybe the healing of the incision and I just don’t know it. Feeling is slowly coming back to my chest area as well. My energy levels seem to be improving too.
Lastly, I took my very last oxy. I’ve only been taking them at night when I’m falling asleep. I don’t like the way they make my head feel so foggy and disoriented. And my nightmares and dreams have been really odd. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow.
I took a shower tonight and I think I feel the most normal today - the bandaids might be helping. I’m a little more fatigued today but still feel 'better.;
