H-Day

The last week has flown by, trying to get work in order and then having to make a last minute day trip to Baltimore last Friday. Maybe it is better, not much time to ponder the whole ordeal. Looking forward to feeling better.

I stopped my b.i.d. naproxen last Monday as part of the preop regimen. I discovered two things...my naproxen really did provide me pain relief and Tylenol just isn't the same.

Part of my frustration with all of this was the quick onset of my hip problem, or at least that is how it felt. Part of it, I believe, was my pain being masked by the naproxen...which I had been taking for my knee. Had I not been taking naproxen I think I would have noticed the pain in my hip sooner...not that I would have done anything different. It just got to the point where I had breakthrough pain...emphasized by the withdrawal for preop.
