I was prescribed an aid to help me sleep. I managed to get a nap this afternoon. I expect to feel better within the next few days. Feeling better rested and staying off my feet more is helping deal with the pain. My doctor also advised on a change in my current pain medication routine.
My mom is going to be over tomorrow and bring an aerobed mattress. My plan is to stay off my feet as much as possible. I can stay downstairs by day (for now) - I'll have access to a restroom, kitchen & T.V. I won't have to move quite as far. I also plan to have plenty of pillows around me. If the pain gets to be too much, then I will stay downstairs until the surgery. Hubby understands that I can't help around the house as much as I have been previous to the pain escalating. Driving is out of the question. All we can do at this point is to make me as comfortable as possible. After speaking w/ Dr. Bahador late this afternoon and pain medication adjustments things seem to be starting to improve. I was able to sleep for about 4 hours. This evening I did manage to eat a little more for dinner than I have in the past few days. I think with less movement and a slight change in pain/sleep management I should be more comfortable for awhile.
