This morning I got to sleep in a little more, till 8:50. I had lots of visitors today which was a fun surprise. I also got good food for lunch and dinner! I hung out with my Halo buddies and went to RT. Dr. Anderson came in and hung out with us a bit again. I felt fine all day till the evening. I was really excited that lately I had been able to get out of traction without it hurting too badly. That all changed today. At dinnertime my neck and head started to hurt. I took some Tylenol but it didn't really help. Later on when I went to get in my walker it hurt so bad I thought I might cry. When I got back into traction it felt better but the pain never got much better. Finally tonight I asked my nurse for something stronger. She called the doctor and got me some Flexerol. It was a pill and I swallowed it successfully. That was happy! Earlier, when I was in my walker, my one nurse said I look taller. I told her I am. She asked how much but I said I didn't know they hadn't measured me. So she measured me. It's not exact because it was hard to do with me in traction but I'm roughly 5'1.5"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That would be 2 inches taller!!!! I'm am so excited!!!! I can't wait to see how tall I get!! I'm really hoping my neck feels better tomorrow!
I was already tired before the medicine but now I'm really getting tired. I think I'm going to head to bed early tonight.
