day 3 after surgery brings the harsh reality of boredom. never thought i would be gazing out our windows and thinking that helping with yard work may be fun. my block has worn off and i am painfully aware of my left foot. superbowl sunday brings a betting pool between my mom and justin and i. i also just found out that phillip seymour hoffman was found dead with a needle in his arm this morning, so there's that. shart will always be one of my favorite words.
i had a successful shower yesterday. being clean and dressed comfortably has been a highlight. we wrapped my leg up in a trash bag and taped it with packing tape really well. it is hard to stand for long periods of time, so i recruited the hands of my husband for efficiency. he didn't mind. crutches are a pain in my ass. i have adopted the one crutch giddy up. i basically use one crutch on my left side and hop. it's a bit easier than trying to get around the house with both.
today i put on some flare fitted yoga pants and a comfy cotton long sleeve, both from hard tail. even though i don't do much besides watch the waste management tour and ring my bell for beverages, my clothing comfort makes a huge difference in my attitude. it's easy to fall into the daily jammies routine after a surgery- not cute.
tomorrow is my post op and hopefully a med refill. the percocet has saved my life. even though i feel slightly out of it, i can not imagine how my pain level would be otherwise. i'm looking forward to a dressing change and hearing what my doctor has to say about how things are shaping up down there. i won't be able to look myself, as i would pass out cold... but i'm excited to hear about it.
more later.
