Today was the first day I did not feel better than the day before. I was ill and tired all day. Perhaps this is because I had to give up the codeine today! I actually didn't have to, but I decided that I could live without the pills during the daytime, so I just stopped. Have you ever seen Trainspotting? Excellent movie, but really gross in the drug addiction department. I have vivid memories of the guy going off heroin:
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: "I don't feel the sickness yet, but it's in the post. That's for sure. I'm in the junkie limbo at the moment. Too ill to sleep. Too tired to stay awake, but the sickness is on its way. Sweat, chills, nausea. Pain and craving. A need like nothing else I've ever known will soon take hold of me. It's on its way."
I read that and it's a little bit like it in that guy as my body seems to be dying without the codeine. It certainly is not happy I took it away. Either that or I have a severe infection and I'll be dead by morning, so let's hope it's the codeine withdrawal.

I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on TV, but maybe the pain is pain?
I vote to take the pills. I can't imagine what you've been thru but being comfortable while you heal might be a good thing.
I made more boobs and I'm selling them on my etsy shop (sold one pair so far) and I'm donating the proceeds to Susan G Komen for the Cure. They're listed as "Mary's Boobs" and 16 people have viewed them. I was going to make thyroid earrings but I just couldn't get the shape and color right. Looked like liver colored angel wings.
OMG that is hilarious!!! Email me a link and I will send it to everyone I know, one friend from kindergarten donates a ton of money to Susan G Komen, she's a speculator for gold and other precious metal companies.
It's a shame you haven't gotten the thyroid right, so many women have thyroid issues after kids. Of couse, nobody really knows what one looks like!
BTW, it was just pain. I took the pills and was fine again, stopped today to go to bridging and I still feel good, but the stitches are out.
Oh, Amy Setera loves the earings. She said with them on you can't really tell until you get really close and then it just messes with people's minds. Everyone loves them so far!!
