A lot can change in a week. It's been just that: 168 hours since surgery commenced. The first day was a real B! but the 2nd day was a little better. They discharged us at noon, Jon treated me to an ice cream and we made our hour trip home. The past week has gone by so slow but yet so fast. I was feeling really quite "good" today. I didn't have any pain med's only motrin all day. However, the winds have changed and now my leg is aching making me wish I had that push button pain medication. My girls came home today after a 2 day stay with Grandma Deb and Grandpa Lou, which was so nice! Mom gave me the break to allow myself to sleep and get homework done. I'm so blessed!
In 1 more week I go back to the doctor to have her take off the strips and give me the rehab instructions. Praying for only 8 weeks.... but I have a feeling 16 is in my future. Oh well, I'll take it, at least I'm here to embrace it and I have my family!
