Day 2

Day 2

Thursday morning, 48 hours post op, the pain is down to an 8 when it peaks and a 5 when it subsides. I am not sure where the drugs are in terms of thier effect on me. I try to judge the effects based on my light headedness. but as I am writing this, I am having the 8's on the foot. I can wiggle my toes, and I slept a bit better last night, but from 12-3 was up and in some pain, I took more than the recommended dose of pain killers and it just made me lay there with some crazy thoughts while I noticed the pain and the food crumbs sticking to my back.

CNN sucks, I know why stay at home parents are crazy, and I am sick of my bed.

more updates later.

Day 1

Today is Day one after my surgery. Holy shit.

I woke up at 1:00 last night and the knee down block had worn off, the pain steadily increased from 1:00 to 2:00 and then maintained at a high level for the rest of the night. it was pretty bad. it felt like someone had seperated the skin and tendons from the bottom of my foot. I took the pain and anti anxiety medication and wound up falling back to sleep around 4:00, I go up again at 7:00 took some more medication and was out until 10:00. the waking hours are brutal, you can not find a good spo for your foot. my cast is bleeding, and I am having trouble focusing enough to write....

more later.
