Holder på å skrive logg på "rekonvalensen" etter ulykken for å dele med jentene i FFF, men jeg fant ut at jeg kan da poste den her og! På engelsk da, fordi jeg er aaalt for lat til å skrive den på begge språka.
Her er loggen så langt
Saturday 29 Okt. The day after the accident (retrospective)Sleep: 8 hours, so-so energy levelTrouble falling asleep after last night, naturally. Dident fall asleep till 4 ish, sleept fairly well
Pain:Not all that bad. Battered and bruised, knee feels rather iffy but nowhere near the pain from last night. The ribs feel battered and tender, with a fair amount of pain when breathing, but nothing terrible. Not taking any painkillers.
Food:Ca 1700 kcal, 212prot 135 carb 42 fat.
Fish and veggies one meal
Egg and veggies one meal
Two meals protein fluff
+ some snacking
Exercise/movement:Walking: About 2 hours. To the store, to a friends house, to the store again, and home. My friend carried my groceries. Heavy load = pain. Hate being helpless.
Sunday 30 Okt. 2 days post accident.Sleep: 8 hours, pretty ok energy and rested.Big trouble falling asleep, but sleept well and had the opportunity to sleep in so it dident do much harm. Gotta love Sundays.
Pain:The pain was not to terrible in the morning, about the same as Saturday, i could move about and function pretty well aslong as being careful and dont do any twisting or rotating movements. I did decide to take some painkillers though, as it is painfull to breathe and as a consequense of the pain i end up taking very shallow breaths. Took 1 x 500 mg paracetamol.
When the painkiller wore off the pain was much worse, it seems the pain increases troughout the day. Ow. Sticking with the weaker paracetamols for now though.
Exercice/Movement:Walked about 2 hours, back and forth to get some sun. Felt very good to move a bit, no pain in the knee but a fair amount of pain in the ribbs obiously. No more pain then sitting down though, in fact moving lessens the pain quite alot. Breathing hurts, i haveto stop every couple hundred meters to take a deep breath.
Food:Tried to eat at maintence which should be about 1900 on a fairly inactive day, but ended up on 1700.
Monday 31.okt. 3 days post accidentsleep: 6-7 hours, low energi but not terribly tiredHad trouble falling asleep. Too much time on facebook and too many thoughts going trough my head. Fell asleep arounf 3-3.30
Pain:Pain is a little worse then it was sunday. Been on painkillers just about the whole day, not very strong ones though.
Food: ca 2000 kcal, about 200 gr protein
A mate took me out for ice cream today
Exercice/Movement:Little movement, some walking, maybe 50 min combined? And played pool – it hurt, but was fun.
Tuesday 1 Nov. 5 Days post accidentSleep: ca 8 hours, fairly well rested, good energi
Pain: When i woke up it wasent too bad, i thought «oh wow it feels better today!». Took some weak painkillers just in case though, since it hurts to breathe. No painkillers = very superficial breaths. (paracetamol 500mg)
As the day went on the pain started getting severly worse though. I had to take the bus downtown to go to the dentist and the busride was so painfull i nearly cried. Took some stronger painkillers around 13.00 (1 x pinex forte), another dose around 17, and expect to have to take two before bed. In pretty big pain now. I have my hoodie on inside out because it hurts to much to turn it. Doh.
Food:Not feeling very hungry at all. Been slightly nauseous on and off throughout the day. Broke my fast at 18 30 ish (= ca 18 hours fasted). With protein fluff (35 gr protein) and 200 gr carrots, also had like 7 bits of ham while making it. Really had to force it down. Not normal for me.
Will hopefully eat more for dinner. Dad's in town and is coming over with take away in a while. (My dad is the best <3)
Take away was Indian food. Yum. I ate about half a portion of chicken saag with salad, not that much food but it did wake my appetite so i ate more later. Ended up around 1820 kcal (that is with some guessing about the chicken saag though)
Exercise:Some walking today, only to get from A to B, about an hour or so combined.
Wednesday 2 Nov. 5 days post accident.Sleep: ca 9 ½ hours, not well rested
Sleept like shit. Terrible time falling asleep as i was in a lot of pain last night. Was lying in bed awake from 11 ish to 2-3 ish. Had to get one of the guys i live with to get me some water to take more painkillers as they were wearing off and i couldn't get out of bed. Sigh. I hate feeling helpless. After that i did fall asleep though.
Pain:The pain is better than yesterday. Sticking to the stronger painkillers still though. Breathing hurts quite a lot and i haven't been able to take a proper deep breath all day, functioning very well other then that though.
Food:I decided to aim for 1700 as i think that is a more accurate maintenance when i am this sedentary. if i move a lot ill eat more
So, as i sat on my ass most of the day i ended up at 1700 kcal 214prot 116carb 42fat.
I realized that i was a bit low and ended up having a protein bar and fluff before going to bed. Happy with that.
Exercise/Movement:Very sedentary day, about two hours of light housework and 30min walking to the store and back again. Trying my best to listen to my body and heal, but its not so easy as the pain isn't from movement, its constant. Which makes it feel slightly useless to sit on my ass and be in pain, when i can get something useful done with the same pain! Am being a good girl though, no exercise, only walking.
Damn this healing shit is boring.
Thursday 3. Nov. 6 days post accident
Sleep: ca 9 hours, well restedAhhh. Sleept like a baby. Was so tired i could barely keep my eyes open around 23.30 last night. Light off and straight to snoozieland – that's unbelievable for me, i always have trouble sleeping!
Pain:Better still today! Everything hurts, especially when i breathe, but today i can take sorta normal breaths. Still sticking to 1 x of the stronger painkillers, might switch back to the weaker ones tomorrow. It hurts a fair bit to take a deep breath, but yesterday i couldn't even take one. I am taking this as a sign that the pain-peak, so to speak, has passed. Which is very reassuring and motivating. As before it hurts pretty much the same if i move as if i am sitting down, as long as i don't do jumping jacks or stupid things like twisting (I keep looking over my shoulder, st00ped)
Food:(Aiming at 1900ish today as i did a couple of hours walking)
- Chicken, an egg and loooots of veggies for dinner
Fluff for dessert
Some liver pate and veggies for snacking
a low carb protein bar for snacking
Last meal protein fluff and sugar free hot coca.
Ca 1900 kcal total, 225 prot 135 carb 50 fat
Exercise/movement:Walked to school and home, about 15 min each way.
Also went for a long slow walk for about 90 min later in the day. Very Low Intensity Steady State, hehe! 200 kcal burned, which i suppose i need to eat back, as i have been thoroughly informed by the ladies at FFF that I really should not be cutting right now. But rather eat at matieneance and focus on healing. Which I do agree wholeheartedly on, I just need a nudge every now and then I think. Have some fat phobia lingering it seems!
