Day 5. Woke up at home!
- injected myself in my own bathroom, a little tricky since the space is tiny and there are next to no surfaces. My husband had to hold the open bottle of rubbing alcohol.
- put on my own compression stockings and nonslip socks. Uthitta hasta padangusthasana is good practice for this.
- ate real food/drank real coffee and found appetite miraculously returning.
- met with awesome visiting nurse, who removed the ace bandage on the L knee (the one that drained so much that the saturated dressing had to be replaced). He said the bandage looked too tight and that it could stay off. Feels better now. Proof of puffiness in my scar photos.
- managed to not think about my knees for a whole blissful hour since a very kind friend sent over a beautiful colored pen set and coloring books
- found a semi-comfortable spot with the lounge doctor. Still working on that.
Question: if elevating is really not comfortable for me, how far will not elevating set me back?
