Norco after acl surgery -2

After a couple of 2 norco pills I tool ome at 730 pm with only a few crackers on my stomach.  I then quickly ate some taquitos,  but I was high as a kite for the next 3 hours.  Eyelids were half baked or wouldnt stay open, I couldn't explain myself as sometimes I didnt even know what I was trying to say. I felt like I shoulda been passed out. 
I am not sure if it was the fact that I had not eaten much before I had norco, or it was the buildup of 6 doses at two pills each, but it was two much.  This was the type of high that people probably seek out but since I am such a skinny twerp I probably don't have much tolerance and 1.5 woulda been a nice high, but 2 is just too much.  Or perhaps I am just not that into being that far gone.  Either was, I have switched over to one and some ibuprofen an I think I am going to go to every 6 hours instead of four, so I can get off this shit.

I wrote this entry while I am on my CPM machine going from 0 to 76 degrees flex.  76 degrees is just about as tight as I can go with the brace on. But it does not hurt.  However 0 degrees does seem to be pretty far.  It hurts a little bit each time.  It seems that each time as it gets close I start to flex up a bit without conciously trying which could be adding to it. It seems as though the ace bandage and whatever is underneath that seem to be making miney huge which could add to how much Flex is being done on my knee. But I'm not sure if my knee is swollen or if they put a half inch of gauze on there.

I Think I Will Try It Without The Flex Brace next time. And see what comes of it.  Anyway I get to take off the base and check on my bandages this afternoon to see what's under there.
