2 DAYS BANDED

I WAS BANDED ON 3/23 AT NOON AND HOME BY 4PM. MY FIRST THOUGHT WHEN I CAME TO WAS "WHAT IN THE HELL DID I DO TO MYSELF?" I WAS HURTING PRETTY GOOD, ESPECIALLY RIGHT ABOVE MY STERNUM. I THOUGHT I WOULD PROP MYSELF UP IN THE LIVING ROOM AND I TRIED IT. NO CAN DO. I SLOWLY LIMPED MYSELF TO MY BED AND IT WAS A LITTLE BETTER. MY SON WAS WONDERFUL. HE TOOK THE DAY OFF FROM WORK AND HE TOOK REALLY GOOD CARE OF ME. I WOULD SIP ON MY LIQUID PAINKILLER AND I WOULD FADE A LITTLE. ANOTHER SIP, ANOTHER LITTLE FADE. I JUST WANTED TO SLEEP SO I TOOK A FULL DOSAGE AND DID I EVER FALL ASLEEP. WOKE UP AT 11PM, GOT UP OUT OF BED, AND THERE WAS NO PAIN. I WAS SOOOO RELIEVED. THAT WAS ON THURSDAY AND TODAY IS SATURDAY. NO MORE REAL PAIN. SORE BELLY, BUT I CAN LIVE WITH THAT. I'VE ON CLEAR FLUIDS, MAINLY PROPEL WATER FROM GATORADE, THE LEMON FLAVER IS VERY YUMMY. RIGHT NOW IM HAVING SOM CRYSTAL LIGHT. IN BETWEEN THE FLAVORED WATER, I DRINK PLAIN WATER. MY BIGGEST WORRY WAS GOING BACK TO WORK AND HURTING TOO MUCH. IM THINKING I WILL BE OK.
