Edit Week 3 — Oct 7 – Oct 13 (W0–1)

Note Oct 7 Finalized Harcourt concept 1 and communicated with client about an upcoming meeting at my office to review SURGERY in Athens: Michelle, Amy, and Alexis were my nurses. Impressive hospital and staff. Martha came down twice but we missed her both times. Reclined on sofa the rest of the day starting at 4:30. One super sharp pain that lasted for about 3 to 4 seconds at the top of my shoulder Oct 8 Saw Justin at sports rehab and was advised to switch over to Jason. Met him. He was kl's PT. He and Justin both used the word massive to describe my injury and surgical repair. We were rescheduled for the next day to see Jason for the ACT Ortho eval. It wasn't very long after that, on the way home, that the interscalene nerve block from surgery wore off. The pain from that point on grew and became unbearable all throughout the rest of the day and the night to the point where I was having to take more hydrocodone then prescribed. Even that wasn't enough. We called the doctor's office to ask for stronger medicine Oct 9 Tweaked on Harcourt design/decor after bad night with the shoulder Had the ACT Ortho eval with Jason The Piedmont sports rehab. He moved it around while I fought him. They said our main function right now is rest and getting rid of the pain. He did the compression cryotherapy at the end and it was glorious. We got the new prescription paper for oxycodone, and headed home Oct 10 Pain. I track my day in 4 hour periods of oxycodone dosage. I get a little bit of work in with design here and there but it's not productive. I communicated with Paul Wrights that I'd like to get started on his design in three or four days. I made tentative arrangements to meet with a harcourts on Sunday 11th, for concept review. I'm about 8 hours over the 20-hour contract. I did not get their approval for it prior. I may ask them for two or three of the hours. Though they both work for the CDC and they're currently furloughed. Yikes Received our compression and cold therapy machine. I'm using it most of the day. It works very well and the water is still cold though we filled it up this morning. It's mostly as good as the game ready unit from the therapy center. Maybe the shoulder cuff fit isn't quite as good, That's about it. K.L. called can we talked about stuff for a while. At least the way it sounded, he had everything covered and folks were stepping in to help just fine. Bonnie and Tina's mother came and visited for about an hour. Took my last pain medication at 5:00 and I think the neighbor Eddie's about to pop over. Oct 11 Talked to Carl on the phone for a while about Dean and kayaking the Canooche nasty river in the past Pain management, sleep very little, body battery 5 with high stress all day Oct 12 Muscle jerks during sleep and skin itching sensation at the shoulder. Jerks wake me in near tears. Research says is common post surgery: muscle relaxers and relaxation techniques, and hydration/electrolyte management. I watch electrolyte and hydration heavily bc of pain meds and constipation concerns. Tried breathing techniques thru the watch app, and no problem last night anyway 2 1/2 hour long concept meeting with Harcourts. They loved the designs for the upbath and the downstairs. Govt. shutdown is currently affecting them (CDC scientists) so they are currently on holding pattern. Oct 13 Longest night of sleep yet last night. Wen 7 hours on one pain med cycle. Breg cryo/compresion machine may be helping. Using it many, many times per day. Got back to Rekover subdomain and trying to get it working. Spent hours with AI and Aplus tech support. Still not working. Ticket escalated in APlus tech support for SSL certificate for the rekover.gohw.net subdomain Still no riding, trying to keep shoulder/scapula mobile, and manage pain and protection Hours of work on rekover site. adding Therapy Banner to come out when Fitness Banner does
