Day 2: way more coherent today, slept in about hour long bits all night. I despise sleeping on my back so it’s very hard to get comfortable.
I am, once again, eating the poor hospital out of house and home. It’s 6 am and I just ordered breakfast but I’ve been waiting an hour or so for them to open.
Been up and down to the bathroom, feel like I’m walking better already. Not a whole lot of pain but I have the nerve block still in. I think I had 5mg Norco last night around 8pm but that’s all I’ve needed so far.
It’s been sort of amusing, I had the same anesthesiologist, night nurse and the food delivery person recognized me as well. They were all “weren’t you just here?”
I may get to go home today, waiting on PT, OT, and the surgeons assistant to clear me. My surgeon apparently flew out of state last night but he called me to let me know how things went, that his Assistant will be by today to talk to me and let me know who is filling in for him in case anything arises.
