Good Morning All
Day 4
After a great night sleep woke with the nurse bringing my pain meds at 6:30am ( my husband brought me extra strength earplugs ) I feel full of beans and ready to tackle the day ahead ( 1 day at a time) I walked on my own to the bathroom unassisted with crutches ( I have to chant to myself "crutch first bad leg then swing good leg forward" ) I'm sure with time this will become the norm.
Today I need to prove to PT I'm ready to go home...
My meds this am have gone from IV to pills at night they gave me tramadol which works wonders and 1st thing in the morning paracetamol with a stomach protector first.
I ice frequently and finally on my last day figured how to elevate this bed ( better late than never haha ) they don't practice that here at home I have my 3 pillows sewn together instead as indicated in these helpful information provided - yes I have read every one - my thanks to admin.
Not looking forward to access to my home as my entrance is either a curvey flight of steps I think 14 in total or a high incline with cobble stones my husband said worse comes to worse he will put me in the wheel barrow how undignified is that
- thank God we live in the country with no neighbours
@Tykey
Yes I feel more positive I did think day 1 - very negative thoughts and day 2 as well but something clicked on day 3 and life didn't seem all that black - I have a good support network of close friends and my husband and daughter are the icing on the cake. Thanks to this forum I am prepared to take each day slowly ( Carlos my husband ) would have me running before I can walk haha but this won't be the case I will do a little more each day at the moment it will be trial and error
Will post later today with update on hopefully not a wheelbarrow ride to my house
Looking forward to seeing my doggies I'm sure the non eating has done them some good as they were becoming rather round ....
Have a good Sunday all xxx
