Today is the first day I could honestly say I was feeling better. Easier to get up, to get around..the stairs are always fun..easier to bathe. Getting the hang of it but I can't wait to have my foot back! I know it'll be a while still until I can "walk" on it, let alone wear flops & cute open toe shoes year round. I don't give a damn about the scars! I love scars. I could deal with scars. I have little to no dizziness today. All day I took mild/moderate pain meds. Felt a little cabin fever so I came downstairs & spent most of my day down here. Didn't go to bed until 11pm! I know..what a rebel, right! Finally slept through the night. Being sleep deprived on top of everything that goes with having surgery is a ticking time bomb. At least it is for me. :D
I had a visit from my mom, that was nice. I was bored &there's never anything good to watch on tv so as I sat on the coach, I made my cat a toy. Still feel that heart burn, pressure feeling in my chest. I'm not quite sure how to describe it or what it is from but I think it may or could be from having the breathing tube they put down your throat while in surgery. By the end of the day, my arms & the palm of my hands felt sore again. I probably should not have done this but the marcaine baggy was getting on my nerves, getting caught on everything & it looked empty so I clipped it & unscrewed part of the tubing bag & took it off. Now I have two small tubes hanging from inside the padding that's on my foot. Again, I don't know what these are connected to & I didn't think to ask the Dr when I saw him last because I wasn't doing do good.
Had an AH HU moment this evening when I was in bed...I think the reason I had to pee so much in the middle of the night was because I kept feeling the cold on my foot from the machine! LOL! Well, maybe not but I thought that was so funny ;) Here's a personal & gross moment..but all for the sake of sharing my experience...I finally went #2 today! lol! I celebrated with a piece of Boston cream pie ;) My foot/leg is wrapped up to just below my knee (I posted pics in previous blogs) & by the end of the day, it gets heavy & hard to move around. Second "personal" alert...I shaved my good leg when I took a bath today. heheheheh
BTW...Breaking Bad was crazy tonight...roller coaster every Sunday evening. I have no idea what's going on with Dexter...they are all over the map & it's making me mad.
This are pics of the toy I made for my love, Caoihme...my cat...
