At home, mostly ibuprofen and Tylenol. I never had much bad pain, and nothing at all like the pain of the bowel perforation I endured for a week. Good medicine is amazing! I've healed very well. But, the details of my plumbing adjusting are the remaining glitch. I'm only 11 days out in a 6 week recovery, so that must be the thing that takes time... and getting back energy.

I miss Suze.
