Two Days Post-Surgery

I am feeling really good today after a horrible day yesterday. I am far from 100 percent but it's a big improvement. The only hard part is standing up to move around because all the blood rushes to my toes and it feels really weird. I don't like the feeling at all so I try to get up as little as possible. I can feel my incision, but I try to ignore it. Last night, I took two pain medications at 10 and didn't take one until 8 this morning! I had a really good sleep last night which was just what I needed. All day yesterday I was tired, dizzy, and miserable. I am trying to start taking less medication because I don't want my body to rely on them. My family and friends have been really helpful and I am so grateful for them. I am going to try to go to the basketball game tonight, but we'll see how the rest of the day goes! I am also going to try to take a bath/shower which could be interesting!

  1. I bought a shower chair at a local hospital. It really helped. I think it was around $38. And a plastic bag thingy that is the shape of a leg, for showering. Both have been helpful. My 1st shower was 3 days after survery.
