Post-Op Day # 56 - Saturday Stroll

Well yesterday was very nice and cool out!

We slept in a bit, neither of us were that motivated to get up -- esp me, my body has been so sore/stiff this week, I really need a trip to a massage therapist or chiropractor.

After we got up I tried to work on putting my weight on my ankle, see how it felt. It felt very bizarre, my foot wants to roll to the outside. When I do put weight on it, it feels like the whole ankle is being pulled in a direction it shouldn't go but really it's where it's supposed to be.
I managed to stand a bit but my left leg had to be way out front of the right one to do it.

I'm going to work on it a bit each day that way the foot will get used to stretching a bit.
I'm also going to work on starting to make the drop while holding my foot up in the air ---so almost like I was putting my foot in the stirrup and dropping my weight into the heel. It's very tight right now so I have to do a tiny bit at a time so I don't hurt it.
The nerves start getting all aggravated and I feel weird pins & needles, numbness, tingling, just a weird variety of sensations.

I worked on that for about 15mins then decided that was enough, I don't want my ankle to swell up bad or end up with a lot of pain. Especially since we want to be able to go to Canada next weekend! YAY!

we decided it would be nice to go for a ride in the wee-chair around the big block by the police station. We had a nice time, I had fun whizzing down the hills haha, boy I was going pretty fast on some of them, thank goodness for my brakes. :-)

We got back to the house, put the chair away then head out for some late lunch/dinner at Chiptole. Lunch was super yummy then went to Bellevue to the shooting range so Adam could pick up some ammo for one of his pistols.
After that we head back to Issaquah so he could get a coffee up at Caffe Ladre. We sat outside for a while just chilling out and enjoying the lovely cool weather ---we know it's not going to last so better enjoy it! Haha!

I think it was about 8:30pm by the time we got home, good thing I was smart and took my 10mg of Warfarin with me just incase we didn't get home for 8pm!

I put in some laundry and watched a few episodes of House --omg, I LOVE THAT SHOW! I never knew what it was about before, I just happen to see an episode while dog sitting and loved it. Now I can watch any episode I want online. :-) I love medical related shows, this one is very interesting. Check IT OUT!

I head to bed around 10-10:30pm because I was so tired and my eye was bugging me a bit. I'm pretty sure my ulcers are back. I'm going to go tomorrow hopefully and get them checked by my optometrist.

Well that's it for yesterday...........booooooooooooring but atleast I got to spend the whole day with Adam :-)

thanks for checking in
