Day 3
After a full nights sleep with only Panadol I'm feeling more human today. The targan was finished yesterday morning so I hope to feel less dopey now. Pain is manageable with regular Panadol and foot up for as long as I can. If I have to get around I use the desk chair as a knee scooter....it is perfect to scoot around. I have a boot , cructhes and lot of hopping and holding on to walls. I try not to use my crutches very much. I'm off the heavy pain meds. And only taking Panadol very 4-6 hrs. Surprisingly, I thought I would be going crazy out of boredom and inactivity. The opposite is true so far. Content to relax, read, think, rest and repeat. My life as a teacher and mum is non stop and I think I may enjoy stopping for a while. Soon enough I will be back to the treadmill of my life.
After a 11/2 hr operation and heavy sedation my body took a while to recover from the a aesthetic. I was vomiting first night so needed to stay in hospital for a second night.
Headed down to sit on bench looking out at ocean today while mark walked Benny. So nice to get some sun and fresh air after being cooped up,in hospital for 3 days. Grateful to live in a coastal area and look out at ocean from my chair each day. Funny how my life is so busy it takes an operation and being imobile to stop and appreciate simple things. I don't think I've ever sat long enough on this chair to actually realize how comfy it is! ( but then I also can sit here and see how dirty the windows are too ! ).
