Gaia,

You have pain from probably moving around too much. Or perhaps you picked up something heavy. Even healing causes pain. DON’T PANIC!! However, you need to rest. You probably have staples in and they can pull out...that is so painful.

Please rest, and please don’t stress yourself out thinking you tore something. Frankly, I am surprised you made it this long considering your just taking Motrin. Also, remember there is a lot of bruising which hurts worse after the surgery. I have a homeopathic pill I take for bruising that makes the pain and swelling go away fast. It is by Boiron and is called Arnica Montana. You can read about it on Amazon. Arnica is known for this, but this is the one the holistic doctors recommend. You just put a few very, very tiny capsules under your tongue a few times a day. When I needed it, it helped me so much. Ask your doctor.

Also. From all your moving you may have caused swelling where the stitches are. A little I’ve will take the swelling down but be sure to use a lot of paper towels so the cold starts slowly. Then, because I am a wimp, I put thermacare on. That is a heat pack that relaxes the muscles. But first you have to decrease the swelling.

I hope you feel better soon. Be careful and REST or I will come over and take away your toy pad. BTW, apple is coming out with an iPad under $300. You can get a great deal on one refurbished for a couple hundred. It’s the best toy ever

Night and please try and rest. Best, Fran
