So the surgery was yesterday... check in was 830, we didnt go into surgery til about 10 something and i was headed home around 12... honestly i dont remember many of the details, i was pretty groggy. the doc said it was a success and they did range of motion afterwards and there was no popping. The first thing i did when i woke up yesterday was eat... of course. I had 4 pieces of toast with strawberry jelly, a chocolate pudding, and apple juice. Right now i have this fancy little.... well HUGE wrap on my leg until i go in again.
I find it oddly shaped and i complained about it pretty much all day yesterday, go figure haha. After i got released, dad and i went to Walmart to get my prescription, Elf!!!, and a few other things. still too dizzyi got one of those cool electric carts that you always want to drive around! i have to admit it may have been because felt faint, but it wasnt as cool as i expected. It was very slow and people kept getting in my way! After this Walmart adventure we realized it was a bad idea for me to be out and about right after surgery, i got really pale and almost threw up but of course the bathroom was "closed for cleaning" when i needed to get in there! Needless to say we went home so i could lay on the couch. After school Alison and Zack stopped over to see me! It was nice to have some company and all but i must say i miss my E.L.Fudge double stuffed cookies that they all ate!! My bestest friend and babysitter ever, Chandra, came over with a strawberry banana smoothie from DQ around 430 ish i think. After Alison and Zack left we went downstairs to watch ELF!!! :) buddy the elf what's your favorite color?? She did a great job putting up with me asking a zillion questions, repeating some cuz i didnt remember what she said, an waiting on me hand and foot! she even made me mac and cheese andcleaned out my bucket!! Word of the wise... you may feel fine after surgery, but do not eat... you are just asking for some nice quality time with a bucket!! Now it is 7am and i have been up since 6. The pain in my foot is pretty bad now.... it's kinda throbbing and the incision site really really itches!!! I took some pain meds but they have yet to kick in. Im sort of hungry but scared to eat because i do not want anymore quality time with a bucket!! well this is what has been going on so far... im going to try to go back to sleep... more to come later!
Sounds like quite the endeavor! It's great your friends are there to serve you, lol.
