Tues 8/27/13 <<DAY 8>>
Woke up at 5something am with the worst pain on the incision on my heal. This is how the day started & didn't get any better. Second time now that I've felt pain on that one but today was the worst! To have to lower my foot to use the restroom or move around was unbearable. The worst was in the evening. I had tears in my eyes when I was coming up the stairs this evening. It felt as though it was tearing open or I was going through a surgery with no anesthesia. It was bad. I ended up literally crawling up the last flight of stairs.
My foot falls asleep from having it in the same position & today I couldn't get creative because it felt like that incision was rubbing against the gauze/cotton.
I slept in a little but instantly didn't feel good. Went through my usual routine & came downstairs. I was nauseous & felt weak. After lunch I got sick again. I felt it, I knew it was going to happen so earlier I asked my husband to leave some plastic bags by me. I'm glad I did because they came in handy later on in the day. I don't know about you but I eat a couple gummy bears to help get rid of that after taste. Gross, I know. But if you're going to do this, know that there is a possibility you may go through the same thing. So be ready. I still don't regret it. My husband asked me today if it was still worth it & I said yes without any hesitation.
So the whole day, I felt was a set back because I spent it on the couch not feeling good & throwing up. What a bummer. I can not wait to go to see the Dr tomorrow & have him uncover my new foot. I know it'll be swollen & won't look like much but I just can't take the pressure of all this stuff wrapped around it. I swear I felt the incision on my ankle bleed when I bathed tonight.
That's it for today...candy crush, couch, plastic bags, crawling up the stairs. It wasn't funny at the time but if my husband would have taken a picture of me crawling up the stairs it would've been funny to look at. Tomorrow will be better.
