Post Op Day 5.....ARRRRGH!

Have you EVER worn a shoe for a week, without taking it off, not even for a second, not even just to scratch your foot? That's what I feel like with these dressings/splint/ace bandages on...they feel like they are sliding down, the splint shifts, and it feels like I have a shoe on in bed. And my foot is just ANNOYED. It's irritating...Can't WAIT until he takes it all off on Wednesday: no matter how Frankensteiny my foot looks, it'll be a relief to have it off and wiggle my toes.

No one told me the pain wouldn't be the worst part....it would be the DRESSING/SPLINT!!



Oh, and stop reading here if you don't want to know about the on-going GI issues that Omnicef and other antibiotics can cause.

The diarrhea is gone...which has me paranoid that I'm working on getting constipated from the Percocet. Which I've only taken one this morning, and one last night to get to sleep, because the foot was throbbing so much, but still....but let me just say, if there were a windmill in our bedroom, I could generate our own electricity!! The gas WOKE ME UP THIS MORNING! Not that stinky (IBS, remember, I've HAD smellier)...just copious amounts!! And I've NEVER made such disgustingly LOUD noises on the toilet!!

Only 3 more doses of the antibiotics, then hopefully I'll go back down to my regular level of gaseousness.

O-kay, enough on that.
