Tuesday update

Hey everyone. It's Day No. 2 now and things are better. I can't see my ankle because it's all wrapped up, but I know the swelling is less of an issue now. The ankle feels better. I cut my oxycodone dose in half this morning. We'll see how long that lasts.

I'm stil in bed. Still keeping the ankle elevated on a stack of four pillows. Still watching a lot of nothingness on television. I don't know how couch potatoes do it.

A couple random thoughts/observations:
*As my general anesthetic wore off late last night, I started getting the itchy-scratchies. It was not fun. I had to laugh, though, because I kept thinking of Tyrone Biggums -- the crackhead played by Dave Chappelle on his Comedy Central show. He's always scratching himself in mock withdrawal.




*I can see why Oxycodone is addictive. I feel a rush of euphoria every time I take one of these red-and-white pills. My wife found a site on the Internet last night that claimed each pill is worth $7 on the street. They're worth more to me than that! I can't imagine how unhappy I'd be without painkillers.

OK. That's all for now. Gotta get back in bed.
