Sometimes when the cold compression kicks on (the timer is set to 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off) & the water runs up the tubes & reaches my toes it feels like ants but feels cool & feels good. Ive been more itchy on that foot lately.
Last night my son helped me down the stairs, figured I'd try it again. Felt a little dizzy but no vomiting & nothing compared to the other day..that was horrible. Still taking the extra strength meds & they make me sleepy but still not sleeping through the night. Like clock work, I wake up around 2ish & again around 4 or 5am to pee.
Back to today...it amazes me how much I have to pee in the middle of the night when I hardly don't have anything to drink before I have to go to bed. Brian brought me breakfast in bed again..home made waffle & banana. I need my coffee so I had a little too. He also suggested I start taking the mild/moderate pain killer as of today because I'm not in too much pain. Other than my arms/muscles feeling sore & weak I'm not in too much terrible pain. Towards the end of the day the palms of my hands are sore from the crutches. Ive been having weird dreams that all run together. Every now & then, my toe or toes will twitch in the middle of the night & it'll scare the heck out of me because I'll dream something/one is bumping into them or running over them. With the stent in place, I can't move my ankle/foot. So it feels weird not to have movement. I may never take walking for granted again! My right leg gets tired of being in the straight & elevated position day in & day out. I sleep facing up as long as I can but then automatically turn to my left since its the only way I can turn slightly. My shoulder still has a bruise from the shot the anesthesiologist gave me so it gets sore after lying on that side too.
