Mon/Labor Day 9/2/13 <<DAY 14>>
Kind of a boring day. I pretty much spent it on the couch. I can report I have been pain free though &continue to take the mild pain killer. Although, I can go the whole night with no pain killers & wake up with no pain either. The worst of it is just the feeling of it swelling up if I'm up for too long. IMPORTANT, NEED TO KNOW: Gross alert: after more than, I don't know, at least 3 days if not more, I finally...went...#2 :/ For my future fellow brachy brothers/sister who will go through this procedure, please remember to take fiber or now a days they have gummys you can take that is not necessarily a "laxative". TRUST ME, this is IMPORTANT.
Um...I think that's it for this day.
Tue 9/3/13 <<DAY 15>>
Woke up feeling good, had breakfast in bed. Today I felt good enough to get the heck out of the house for a little bit. It's the first time I leave the house, with the exception of going to the doctor's office, in 2 weeks! Today, actually, marks my 2 weeks anniversary since the surgery that will change my life. Had an awesome lunch with the husband at Cali Pizza Kitchen & it was delicious. We went to the mall for about an hour. Which was probably the longest I can with stand my foot not being elevated. We actually started our Christmas shopping! Yay! On a side note, I saw the cutest pair of leopard print jeans that I NEED... SO badly. Of course I would see them now when I can't try them on..ugh! Something funny/different I've noticed that I'm not sure why it happens...when I'm falling asleep, I notice my body twitches. The worst is when my toes on the operated foot twitch!! Oh how I hate that feeling! It scares me & I jump & wake up so it takes me that much longer to fall sleep. This never used to happen before the surgery, don't know if there's any connection. Tomorrow I go to another check up & hopefully get a cast on. I'm kind of excited but since I've never had a cast, I don't know how it's going to feel. With the dressing I have on now, I can take it all off if I want to for what ever reason but with the cast, I'm stuck with it till the doc takes it off to change it. He had mentioned I'd have to go in & change it once a month. I can't imagine not moving my foot for that long of a time! For some reason that freaks me out!
