Happy Caturday friends........I think I've turned the corner.....swelling is coming down along with the pain level. My sensitive innards seem to be regulating again like they should. This guy will never again take their Dilaudid . The discomfort it caused was far greater than the surgery pain, I am getting by with Tylenol and about 2 mils of MCT oil (infused at 35mg/ml) in my coffee. I repeat every 4 hours. I hope everyone is having a great Labor Day Weekend. Next weekend is our big Take Back The Lake weekend and I am looking forward to the peace that comes after the summer crowds leave. Enjoy your day and make it memorable.........
