drugs are bad... BUT pain is worse...

i am sick of taking pain meds and tried to white knuckle it yesterday to see how long i could go. debilitating pain after 5 hours. but that experiment let me know what my true threshold is and i am taking a lot less now.

i just want to be well enough to drive at this point. i hate wearing the brace and walked around a bit without it. disregarding the doc saying KEEP IT ON AT ALL TIMES. well, i know why now. you will forget not to move a certain way and really hurt yourself or jeopardize the graft. yesterday i shifted my weight when picking up a sock while holding the crutch and my knee felt like jello. nothing happened but it drove home the point i need to KEEP THE BRACE ON.
