Hi my friends,...I just woke up due to pain...time to take another percocet and patiently wait for it to do some magic.
It's been three weeks since my lung surgery and the euphoria of knowing that the cancer has been all cut out is helping me get through each day...still feeling like the luckiest person in the world.
I'm trying to taper off the percocet...night time pain is the worst. During the day, I'm pretty good at distracting pain. Night time I fall asleep and wake up with spasms in my back. I've been propping myself up so that I can breathe better and am in an awkward position.
There are nights, I have got up and slept sitting in a chair. Doing gentle stretching often to help along with the deep breathing exercise. Thanks to fibro...I've got this down pat... 
It is going to take a while for lung function to be well enough to let me resume a more normal lifestyle...there is no way, I can overdue because I run out of breath...it is giving my body a chance to heal.
Fibro pain has been flaring...my muscles have been tensing and I use my warm moist heat pads often. I cannot wait until I can soak in the tub again.
All in all, I'm feeling pretty good about my recovery...I know it is a slow process and I will get there. Having the lung lobectomy did save my life and well worth the pain...just wish pain didn't have to hurt. 
Have a wonderful weekend, my friends 
Hugs, Robin
