Day 8 - Experiment Didn't Work

Yesterday was rough. I tried to suck it up and take the pain of cutting back by taking one Vicodin (325 mg) instead of two every four hours as the doctor had prescribed. But I could feel the pain in my leg and it made me grumpy for most of the day. To top it off my ankle and foot was swollen. I think I have been walking too much. Called the doctor's office and they say I need to be in bed and keep my foot raised. After responding to some work e-mails and paying bills in the morning, I climb into bed for some rest.
