Oh little heating pad. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Well, to be honest. There’s really just one way. Setting on high while laying on my shoulder. Do your magic! Read online that the gas pressure in the shoulder following this surgery can be helped by a heating pad. So I tried it because the pain had been building all day and I wasn’t going to be able to tolerate it much longer. Ahhhh, sweet relief. THAT should be the first thing they tell you in all the handouts the dr’s office gives out regarding recovery. How or why it works, I know not. I just know it hurt like a heart attack earlier . . . and now it doesn’t. Praise Jehovah for the invention of this lovely thing called a heating pad.
Side note: I haven’t had any pain meds since yesterday at noon. They didn’t help with the pain in my shoulder and nothing else hurts bad enough to warrant the effects that med has on me. So, done with that. Glad I only paid $10 for that bottle.

We could seriously make some money off that $10 bottle! Just sayin.
