I had my first physical therapy session this morning. I was in recovery all day yesterday waiting for room which is wasn’t put in till 730.pm.
The epidural is still working so I have no pain. Pt went fine. I just did my bed exercises and walked very little because i also have a catheter. It’s able little tight feeling. That is it. This is too good to be true. Pt is not pushy. So I am happy with him. They talked about discharging me today but I told them I prefer tomorrow.
The epidural and iv are being removed at 12. I am a bit apprehensive as to what the pain will be like. I took my last oxy mg last night because I did not really need it. No nausea which is a good sign. I didn’t have to hit the pain button either.
Pt gave me a card with some of the simple exercises I am to do in bed...just five. Ankle pumps , pressing knee into bed, butt clenches, leg slide, and rotating leg out. That’s it. Seems simple enough.
Will update you at about noon when the epidural is done with. Yeah hope that the pain isn’t too bad. We will see.
