Today was a very good day. I'm down to 1 percocet every 5 hours and I am moving around more and sitting upright (with leg up) for longer.
I have tasks I can do to help out. Today, I zested and squeezed the lemons for my mom's famous "Gramma Butterworth's Lemon Butter". Yesterday, I cleaned out my jewel box and found something I can use as an "ankle" bracelet to dress things up a bit.
I had lots of visitors: Kevin came by and I caught him under the mistletoe :-) Ralph brought me more of his famous pate. Martina brought a fashionable (chic) carrying device for me! Betty and Mary came by for tea and cookies. We made some tentative plans for our Secret Santa dinner (our house Boxing Day) and New Year's Eve.
I was able to read some of my book. I'm reading the Lost Symbol right now. Nurse Woodchop stays close and acts as a pillow for my foot if needed. My mom said my head is clearer (less drugs). Hazel and I tested that hypothesis with a game of Crazy Eights Count Down which I LOST (again) but I think I was more in touch with what was going on. I don't think I've ever won that *#(*& game (drugs or no drugs).
What a long haul & I am only on day ! Trying to take it 1 day at a time. Cant wait to get this heavy post surgery cast off jan 28!! My wrists are so sore from the crutches & walker. I spend most of my day lying on my bed as I find this is most comfortable. I started reading this blog in preparation for surgery & it helped a lot. Am off percoset for 2 days & feeling down so that must be why.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Judnik! Keep up the good healing (heeling?!) work!! Try to have something to look forward to every day so you minimize time feeling down. Good luck!
DeleteThanks for the encouragement. Recovery just seems so far away but time does go by quickly. I am really looking forward to the 28th & getting this heavy cast off! I am assuming the fibreglass one feels lighter & better than this one. Did you find it was? Did you have a hard time sleeping?
