7 days out

Surgery was last Tuesday. I,m calling this 7 days out because in my pain killer induced phase, I counted wrong earlier so, what the hay, I'll go with that.
My pain level is still manageable. I've been trying to cut down the dosage and/or increase time between dosages and my pain level has definitely gone up. I began with three 500 Oxycontins every three hours and two Tylenol every six hours. Yesterday I took the Oxy out to every four hours with a bit of increase in pain, but I was also up and about more. Today my goal is two Oxys every four hours, but ended up taking two more after three and a half hours as it was hurting too bad - maybe up to a four. I also forgot my Tylenol because I found it sitting on my dressing table. Since I wasn't totally sure it was the most recent dose, I'm waiting until the next six hour dose to take it because Tylenol is not something you want to double up on. It's nice taking less Oxy because it makes me feel pretty bad. My stomach gets sour, I'm delirious and just feel generally yucky. I hate pain mess, though, so will take them if I have to.
Today I'm noticing more swelling - I guess because I've been up more, but "up more" is relative. Maybe a total of thirty minutes spread out through yesterday. Add physical therapy, which I do in bed, to that, but that's not too time consuming yet.
The most comfy position for my foot seems to be on my side, clutch a body pillow to me, pile two thick pillows under the lower leg and keep semi-still. When I'm on my back, things get a bit tingly and I don't like that.
I hope this detail helps someone. I've tried to include things I wondered as I prepared for this. I know the blogs helped a lot. I found tons of things out there on flat foot reconstruction, but not a lot on high arch reconstruction.
Oh yeah - the doctors did end up doing all five procedures they talked about. I think they added one more tendon transfer, but am not sure.

Pain level last night an average of 2, today an average of 3.
