I Found The Culprit
I have to say that I’m 99% certain that the majority of Emma’s bad moods is stemming from the hydro-codone. I didn’t realize how much of a mood alterer it could be (yes, alterer is a word since there’s no red squiggly line under it). So back to the meds…we’ve been slowly decreasing number of doses she gets of her hydro-codone and valium in a day. On the one hand, I don’t want my daughter to be drugged. On the other hand, I can’t have her in pain because that puts her body under stress and she doesn’t produce cortisol and yadda yadda yadda. It’s a fine line. Anyway, happy to say that we’re off the hydro-codone completely and only on valium before bedtime. Not to shabby for nine days post surgery. In my opinion. And every day seems to get better and better. Another probable reason for that is the outings we’ve taken. We finally got out of the house on Tuesday, after being home-bound since Friday (when we only came home from the hospital). We were all getting a little cabin fever. On Tuesday it was Costco. Wednesday, the mall. Thursday (today), the chiropractor. Yes, our backs are hurting already. And we’re going to be proactive about it this time and see our chiro at least once a week. And I got acupuncture too. Love my chiro…peeps in Scottsday/ Phoenix can find him here. Tell him Emma’s mom sent you.
So with all this said, I’m in a much happier place and so is Emma. My blog was definitely becoming a downer, no? I don’t like that. It’s not really me. I’m feeling better about things in general. I have some fun creative ideas swirling around in my head. I’ve been in a baking mood. Emma’s talking favorably about school again (being very specific about which school she’s referring to). So things are on the up and up. And I expect that to be a holding pattern!
Thanks for bearing with me, blog friends! I appreciate it!

Well, you have to have someone to vent to, right? I need a chiropractor so badly…I’m terrible about taking care of myself sometimes. Glad Emma is feeling a little more up!

Glad you figured out the problem. I have had bad reactions to painkillers too. You might want to talk to your doctor about other options. I can take vicadin as long as I have some compezine with it, but oxycotin makes me crazy!!!
I’ve just gotten started selling on Etsy! It’s not as easy as I thought (marketing-wise), but there is quite a bit of good advice and support through their community! And a blog can be a great marketing tool! Message me on FB if you want to chat about it!
