My Journal: 10:00pm: Im sure I over did it today, I am taking my last 20mg of oxy 2-diludias. Had my post-op appt. today At first I did not like him PA (Physician assistant) Seemed to want to rush me out. I had my question written down to ask. How can I reduce the swelling? what exercises can I do to help me lay on my good side? Can I put as much weight on the leg as I want? How many feet should I be walking in a day? When can I put ointment on the site? Apparently these are questions for the physical therapist cause he could not answer them very well. At first I thought thats who I would be seeing. He never looked at the site, He never asked me to show him how I did the exercises. Then He told me no more Oxy. I almost started to cry. I tried to tell him that I still experience a lot of pain and that I still needed some pain management help. In the end he did write my a scrip for 6 10mg Oxy. I guess you never see a physical therapist, I thought you would at least once a week for the first 4 weeks. In the middle of the night last night my compression sock was killing me, my foot felt like it was going to split in a million pieces. I didnt want to wake up Jessica to help get it off. I couldnt bend down to do it my self It was so tight, like part of my skin. So using my back scratcher and a pair of scissors i got it off, I just cut up a sock worth $15.00.... Gotta go,,, I gotta go #2 Yaa. Its been almost 7 days. All most forgot I got the staples out today, didnt hurt infact felt good cause like scratching it and taking care of the itch.
27 staples!!!!
