This past week has been a rough and great week all at the same time. The surgery went well but started out pain free, then went painful, than to tolerable. I have the most wonderful fiance! He carried me up the flight of stairs to my apartment after sugery! After my 30 hour nerve block wore off, I could no longer tolerate the pain meds. I ended up in the hospital for fluids. Thank goodness for the many wonderful friends, my mom, and my fiance that my life has been blessed with I was given blessings and ice cream. I was able to finally eat food and be relieved of pain. Then mom and I rented a wheel chair and went shopping! Friday I got my stitches out and had a cast put on! Now I can walk on my own, well mostly. I still have to use one crutch due to my ankle still being extremely tender and sore. They cut a lot more than I thought they would. I have now been offical branded with my own initial "L". So now I wear a cast for 6 weeks and then I upgrade to a walking boot for 4-6 weeks and then i'm free to walk on my own! 
HOW did you injure yourself? I've gone through your FB and your blog and can't find what led to the surgery. I injured my ankle/foot a while back and they want to do an MRI... so I'm just curious. Looks and sounds like it was rough, glad you're feeling better!
ReplyDeletehah I know I've been meaning to put that story up! It's actually from an old sports injury. I had surgery on my ankle 9 years ago where they just reattached a torn ligament but they didn't do anything for stability and I've had lots of problems with twisting and turning my ankle a lot and it got to the point where it was always sore and swollen so I had total ligament reconstruction done to make my ankle and ligaments stable!! I hope you don't have to have surgery!
