Well, it’s done! Had surgery Thursday morning, and went back home Friday afternoon. Tonight, Saturday 19th, I’m feeling so many different emotions. I’m thrilled to think I am on the mend, but the difficulties of recovery out of hospital can be depressing. Wish I had a big staff to help rather than relying on my poor husband.
What I’ve learned:
-Handheld shower heads are indispensable.
-“Log leg” is a real thing
-Our “comfort height” toilet made any special equipment unnecessary. It’s the same height as the hospital toilet. Yea!
-A day filled with tracking medications, doing the simple PT exercises, contemplating what to eat when nothing is particularly interesting, well that kind of day is not relaxing.
-When you let people know you are having surgery, their good wishes and prayers can be such a comfort.
-The swelling is weird, the numbness is weird, the wondering if everything is ok is exhausting.
Well, that’s my testament for now. Adult children are visiting tomorrow, so I have to draw up a “to-do” list, as it’s Father’s Day in US on Sunday, and my guy needs a break to rest up for the week ahead.
Hope everyone is doing well, sending my best wishes to all my fellow bonesmarties!!
