Well I managed to get about 3 hrs sleep last night. Woke up and thought Day 2. Wow - only day 2! Feels like I've had the cast on for a heck of a lot longer than 1 day. Don't think I'm going to be doing anything exciting for the next few weeks :(
The nerve block that absolutely made my day yesterday has unfortunately worn off. Good news - I can feel my foot again. Bad news - I can also feel the pain now. It's really not unbearable, but definitely uncomfortable.
I managed to wait until 2:30 to take a Percoset. To my dismay, I really didn't feel the effects. No sleepiness and the pain was still there. Prescription said 1-2 tablets every 4 hours. I only took one. Will probably take 2 to get some sleep tonight.
So I have a sore spot on the bridge of my nose, under my chin and on the back of my neck. How does that happen? Would really have loved to have a camera in the O.R. while the flipping me from my stomach to my back .... hmmmm.
Lisa and Lily came for a visit today. Lisa was kind enough to tidy the house and made me lunch ,. And of course Lily - always makes my day. Sat with me on the bed and colored. In general, just a crazy little muchkin who is always entertaining. Thanks Rose for the salad - always great to have ready made salad on hand.
Lovely flowers from work and Antoinette/Peter - thank you.
Tomorrow I attempt the stairs and a shower! Petrified!
Careful with the wonder drugs or you'll be seeing pixies dancing on the bed sheets.

Lily is better than any prescribed meds. She'll put a smile on anybody's face.
ReplyDeleteAs to making your way up the stairs, remember Anna's advice ... do the "bum hop" and scoot from step to step on your bum.
Good luck.
