Rotator Cuff Surgery

man this is so hard. the drugs make days melt into one another, weird dreams, itchy as hell, edema in the arm where the surgery was, and my free-roaming anxiety now setting up shop on the thought-form of "I ripped out my stitches in my sleep"

one day the pain was completely gone, i stopped taking my pain meds for a day or so, feeling great. then the pain came back, not in spades, but back. it's weird how the intensity of the pain ebbs and flows, I'm mostly sleeping, too doped to read, one handed typing is not so great (snicker snicker)

dreams have been truly banal and hyperreal. I'll think I'm taking my meds and it's 2:00am, Then I'll wake up and see it is 11:30 pm and I'm not sure if I should take or have already taken my meds.

My pal has been photographing the progression of the wound healing. When he sends me the pics I'll post some.

Nothing really to report, except bruises.
