Was a lot of sleeping. Getting myself to the restroom. Practicing getting my clothes back on while on crutches. A lot of pain management. Icing most of the day. Doing laps around the house. Watching tv.
Day 6
Today has been pretty good. I'm super sore and groggy in the mornings so getting up is not my favorite thing. This morning I got up. Went to the restroom and showered. My mom changed my dressings on the scope incisions. These are about an inch in length and they looked beautiful. No blood or anything coming out of them. Very clean! That's huge. They are starting to itch, so that means they are healing.
Showering was the hardest part of the day. It's hard to get everything clean sitting down and when sitting down is so uncomfortable.
After the shower I went downstairs. I've basically been in and out of sleep, getting up and doing laps around the house, eating... But the meds make me tired so mostly sleeping lol. Dad bought me a cookie today :) and Ryne bought me a blizzard yesterday! Healing foods!
Every day I feel better and better. I can move around more and more. I'm more confident in myself getting to the bathroom and getting on and off the toilet. Physical therapy starts tomorrow! So that's exciting. I have promised myself and everyone around me to do exactly as my PT instructor says. That's key to making this successful and living my life pain free.
More updates to come tomorrow. I'll try to get Ryne to set up the X-rays so I can take photos of them. I'm excited to show off my hardware. Here is my smiling face!
