At Home and On the Mend
I am sooooo glad to be home! After having started Monday at the hospital at 06:30 and arriving home today at about 11:30 it was longer process than I thought if would be, but at least now the healing can start!
I just got home a few hours ago, as they kept me overnight. They might have kept me in one more night again if I hadn’t been able to dazzle them with my crutch maneuvering abilities. However I was so insistent upon coming home there was just no way I was not going to pass that assessment.
I am on crutches again (sigh), for the next 6 weeks as I CANNOT bear any weight on my foot while it heals. I loathe crutches… but at least I am now truly on the mend. They didn’t end up inserting a plate after all, I got two screws instead. Damn! I don’t know it that still counts for being bionic; doesn’t really sound as cool to me.
I am in MUCHO pain, but I don’t like taking pain killers so I hope the pressure and pain subsides over the next couple of days. The funniest is that I declined every offer of pain killers, but upon release they gave me a prescription for…are ya ready for it?! 60 Percocets! Craziness. That’s a whole lot of pills, not to mention highly addictive ones, for anyone! Good lord. I just hope they are lumping me in with “the norm” with that prescription and that it’s not a sign that I may feel much worse in the next short while.
As for the actual experience of being in the hospital and the treatment received, it could not have been any better. I was treated very, very well and everyone was just awesome from the Doc to the interns, nurses and physio. It was all good! (I even got Rice Crispies for breakfast! Haha. Haven’t had those in like 20 years!)
I’ll give myself today off workout wise, but I plan to get right back on track tomorrow! The little sheet of exercises the physio therapist gave me are quite cute - if he only knew what I’m really going to be doing for rehab! Lol.
Thanks very much to everyone who sent their well wishes to me. Biggest hugs and kisses to my wonderful hubby who spent most of my time in the hospital with me! You are the BEST!
