    Thank you so much for your responses!! I was worried about needing a refill and that helps to know it is common! The reminder about the pain management article was perfect! I did read it before, but you have proved my husband right. He always says “When the student is ready, the teacher will...

    Ohhhh… I run out of Oxy tomorrow night at 5pm, day 5!! Should I be worried? I realize now it says every 4 hours “as needed”. Maybe I will be kicking myself later for taking it on schedule… i probably could have done 4-6 hours! Maybe I will do that with the last 6 pills to make them last...

    I took a shower and the itching all over calmed down alot! Now mostly places that get “activated” now. (by the fan, tickled by my hair, dryness of my heel…) I have Cera-Ve lotion and will try that! I am getting more mobile! I can get in and out of bed, shower, and pull my foot toward me in the...

    I have a question! Is it bad not to be using crutches or a walker only 2 days post-op? Showering and going to the bathroom without assistance? I know it could get worse before it gets better because feeling will start coming back even more…. Thank you!
