I know I'm not keeping up

Recuperation-wise I have not been doing well...I've been pushing...being up on my feet too much...Doing dishes and laundry, lifting...I wrote to the doctor today asking for something to control the pain better. I was complaining that I am having issues with vision in my right eye again as well as pain...and that my teeth are hurting so badly I can't even eat...I explained I can't take 2 percocets because then I can't even keep my head up...this is the response?!

"Tracy,The pain in your face and teeth is to be expected due to your surgery. The dizziness is most likely related to the surgery and the medication. Extreme fatigue is also to be expected for months. This is a difficult surgery to recover from. 1 percocet is probably not enough and Dr. C reccomends taking 2 every four hours to give you adequate relief. If it makes you extremely tired this is fine as you should be resting anyhow. This will allow you to heal and is what your body needs at this point. The steroid (prednisone) should also help with your symptoms. If the increase in percocet does not help, your symptoms progressively worsen, you develop a fever greater than 100.5, drainage from your incision, nausea or vomitting, please call so a nurse can assess you."

So of course I need to refill my percocet in this case...well since it's a narcotic I have to pick up the written prescription from them or my PCP...

Then I asked about the mediation, which is finally scheduled for the 12th of January. My ex's attorney has been...inpatient and could care less that I just had brain surgery. He knows I'm on narcotics and needing to reduce my stress levels and he's still pushing hard. Well, now my doctors office tells me... "I'd move your mediation based on how you feel now. Stress is never a good thing in the healing process." If I try to change it now, he will probably try to file contempt charges against me!

Ok, i know it's a big whine..sorry...I am having a hard time staying down...I just can't do it!
