Well tomorrow is the first day back to work full time. Had p/t this morning and it's going better, I'm moving better in general other than my slight limp when walking and my hobbling upon rising up and taking those first few steps. I don't notice it, but my husband claims at least in his presence I continue to walk peg legged, is this something that I will automatically over come, or should I make a effort to over come this?
Another issue today is that darn incision, the p/t cleaned it and did a wonderful job with it the other day, looked the best it has in a very long time, for a few days last week the drainage seemed to stop but by the end of the week it was having slight drainage again. I have tried using butterfly strips on it to pull it together, the P/T doesn't nor do I feel it's infected, but was concerned that maybe some kind of medication should maybe be used to help in the healing. So they have a call into the surgeon( it's his day off.) and I called the surgeon also as I became concerned. When you ask questions and the answers seem vague it worries me. So the receptions got in touch with me, we set up an appt, but it may be just a matter of getting some medication, not sure if it will be something for on the wound itself or to be taken by mouth. It is taking for ever for this to heal so if there is someway to hurry the process along that would be great, my biggest fear is infection and having the joint affected.
