Day three feels like nine hundred and twenty-one.
I’m in so much pain I am not even hungry.
Problem is I need to eat being on all these medications.
The nerve block more than likely wore off today since it is only supposed to last 3 or so days.
I stayed in the hospital overnight because I was in so much pain.
I remember looking at the monitor and it was like 168 over something.
I was in fucking pain.
I guess cutting part of your leg off is gonna be painful.
It’s now Sunday and I’m in my bedroom on my bed .
Painful is an understatement.
I haven’t even drunk an entire cup of coffee.
Every time I move to get up and use the bathroom the blood rushes through my leg and BAM! That shit hurts.
I go to my first follow-up appointment on Friday and they will remove all of the bandages, gauze, and packing and put a different cast on.
I don’t know if I get an actual cast or a boot.
They have a tens unit on under all the packing and gauze.
I have it on a very low level because it f’n hurts.
Then as I am going to the bathroom the tens unit became unhooked from my nightgown and fell in the toilet 🤦♀️
My husband grabs it and cleans it, then sits it outside to air out. Hopefully it didn’t mess it up.
When it fell it landed on top of the toilet paper and that kept it from fully submerging.
Ok…well my meds are starting to kick in so off to la la land hopefully pain-free.
