Hammering off the bunion, hammering off the toe

On April 17th I had the bunion removed from my left foot, and the hammer toe repaired. The pain block wore off 4 hours post surgery, then the real fun started. Thankfully, gratefully I was given Percocet..street name-Oxycoden. By day 2, I was ready to be taken back to hospital by ambulance, but knew I'd have further to walk to pee. Day 5 I was down to my last 6 pills (out of 30) and was freaking the f*** out. That night when I took the last pill and I say LAST pill, I was having some hallucinations. So THAT's what all the fuss about narcotics is.
Last Tuesday (20th) the pin came out of my hammer toe. I was so anxious to have it pulled out that I forced the doctor to freeze it first but OMG that hurt more I think, but I'll never know.
Having that foreign metal in my body, made everything hurt so much more...but finally I could take a shower! 34 days of sponge bathing is something to be desired.
I'm off work till July 17th and have learned true humility by learning to ask for help.
