Post-Op Day #42 - Out For A Drive

Well this morning my foot felt pretty darn good, I think the compression stocking is a good thing after all! I still think it's hideous, hmmm maybe I should draw some horses on it! :-) haha!

I noticed a bunch of bruises on my arm and leg that weren't there before, I think I did it at the barn yesterday(scratches head). I'll keep an eye on that especially with my INR being at 3.4(higher then we want) on Thursday.

I went and checked the mail(took the car keys with me) and then decided to see how the foot felt driving again.

I drove around the block and it felt good so I decided to venture off to North Bend(this time no stopping at the barn).
I went to Blockbuster to get a movie, stopped at Safeway to pick up some creamer, then had a Chai Latte at Starbucks and finally back home. haha!
I was sort of surprised how the traffic wasn't too bad considering its the May long weekend here.

I got home, hobbled back up the stairs and have been chillin out in the house since.
It's beautiful out today, I might go for a wee-chair ride later but we'll see how I feel.

I haven't noticed any extra swelling or pain so that is good(knock on wood) -- test will be later on and in the morning.

For some reason I've been feeling anxious though, it started last night --don't know what that is about.
Maybe things are catching up to me finally? I don't know but I'll keep an eye on it. If I feel weird or anything I will call the Dr and worse case scenario 911 if I feel weak/chest pains/shortness of breath etc...

I've definitely felt more on edge since Adam left Tuesday and that is fair, I mean I'm dealing with so much right now and having him with me gives me a sense of safety and comfort.
This DVT isn't something to take lightly and even though they say the chances of any part breaking off now is pretty slim, there's STILL A CHANCE and that makes me nervous as heck -- I don't need a pulmonary embolism or stroke!!!

Hopefully this feeling will pass and I also have to remember that the new BC pills I started with the progestin only can often make people depressed. Hopefully this isn't that, I don't feel depressed, just anxious.

I'm very happy that Adam will be home in the morning and that we can spend Sunday and Monday(YAY for Memorial day) together :-)

Well about 2hrs till I take my 7.5mg of Warfarin. I'm going to watch my movie and just relax!
