9/18/13 <<DAY 30>>
I'm really frustrated with the cast..the whole thing about being immobile is making me crazy...grumpy. It's gotten harder & harder to find a position I feel comfortable in as the strip across my heal is really hurting. Yesterday I moved the leg/foot in such a way that it caused my toes to move & it was THEE weirdest feeling to feel the operated toe try to move. Poor little thing. Also yesterday, since I couldn't take it anymore, I called the Dr's office to see if there was anything they could do or suggested about the tape that hurts so much. Evelyn, I finally remembered her name, set an appointment for me to come in early, a week early, to change the cast. I really hope she cuts or takes the tape off because it won't matter how much gauze she puts to pat it, it's still going to pull my skin. I dread the nights now. From the process it takes to show to trying to find a comfortable position to sleep. I can't sleep at night. For the past 2 nights I've take TWO Melatonin tablets & I still don't fall asleep till late. I'm in a funk & can't shake it...AH!! I can't wait for my cast to come off tomorrow, even if for just a little while. I cry every time I think of not being able to move my foot & how the muscles atrophy.
Since it's Hispanic Heritage month, yes I am Hispanic, I've been keeping busy reading about legends like the Goddess Rita Hayworth (had no idea she was Hispanic) & Lupe Velez. What beautiful woman & what lives they had. Ms. Hayworth's bday is a day before mine ")
