Today was my two week check up for my knee surgery and my doctor was very pleased with how it looks! I finally got my stitches out and permission to take baths again which is a BIGGGGG deal to me!!! I don't know which style you prefer for I will take a relaxing bath over a shower any day unless I have to wash my hair. My doctor also put me on a better pain reliever which is making me feel very good. Unfortunately it's the kind of stuff that I could really get used to and not in a good way but at least it's helping for now. I had a very very bad night Monday night..so bad I started to read things online and thought I was getting a blood clot! Thankfully I was just overdramatizing yet again and I am fine!
I also got to squeeze in an appointment with my ankle doctor which was very important since my parents were starting to have doubts about the ankle replacement surgery not being the best option for me, but after our meeting the surgery still is. I did get some assuring news that for the ankle replacement surgery I'll only be in the hospital one night most definitely since they just put me in a cast and tell me to stay off it for 3 weeks. The great news is in most ankle replacements I won't even have to do physical therapy!!! This sounded great to me since I'm already dreading going back tomorrow for my knee therapy. :(
I've been much happier too that several more of my friends have been checking in on me since my last post and oddly they aren't even readers of my blog so even more proof that I didn't really need that GOD LISTENS but it's always a great reminder isn't it?!
I appreciate my readers so much for your kind words and emails and I promise to get back with you as soon as I can.
God bless!!!
Good to hear! Praying for a quick continued recovery :)

ReplyDeleteHey don't worry about the pain meds not being the good ones/right ones,etc. To heal you need pain relief or else the body will be stressed.
