Post-Op Day #2 - Lazy Friday

Well it's day #2 Post-Op and last night I slept really well again.

This morning I had a bath/shower(did it all on my own but Adam was there just in case), its kind of frustrating how tiring and how long it takes to complete such a simple task.
I really understand how my mom must have felt during the early stages of her stroke recovery.

It's going pretty good, I don't find the pain any worse than yesterday. The meds make me fairly sleepy, that doesn't help when I'm trying to get around on the crutches! :-)

I'm taking 1 Percocet every 4hrs because it seems to do the trick. I'm allowed to take 2 every 4hrs if needed but I think that is a bit much for the pain that I'm experiencing.
I don't want to mess around with meds like this, they're so strong and the body can become addicted easily(thats why junkies on the street love them so much -- scary!).

I noticed blood on the dressing where the incision is, it's just a little bit. I remember them saying that a bit was ok......don't worry I'll keep an eye on it and if I notice more I will call the Dr asap!!

I feel so lazy, just laying around with the foot elevated, wiggling toes(haha) plus the days seems so long! YUK! I can't go outside much, part of the problem is navigating the stairs(so tiring, so steep).
We have 16 stairs up to our front door, so far so good because we have a railing on one side(wish both sides did) and I can use that with one hand then put a crutch(or Adam) on the other side to help lift myself up to the next step.

I'm getting quite a work out over here(no wonder I'm sleeping so good haha!). I have to laugh because I was worried about gaining weight during my recovery due to less physical activity! :-)

I can't wait till I have the energy/less pain to go outside more, all this lounging around isn't good for the mind or body(blank stare).

Don't even get me started about the side effects of the meds(drowsy, dry mouth, etc..) -- lets just say Ive been drinking prune juice(aka liquid plumber), OMG that dang stuff tastes so nasty(gag) and it's not working........well yet! I'm not happy about it! TMI, oh well! ROFLMAO!

I'm looking forward to this weekend, Adam will be off work so we can go outside for a walk, stop by the ranch, get a bite to eat out, just enjoy the Easter weekend together(thought it would be nice to be in Canada too) :-)

I took a couple pictures of my black walking boot --isn't it sexy?! NOT!
