Goal: Make it through the day
The doctor did take the bottom of my frame off yesterday - thank GOD - but I was not expecting, nor was I warned about the pain that I would experience.
My goodness, this crap HURTS! I am feeling all seven wires on the left side of my foot. The wires anchoring my heal are the two which hurt the most. The pain is constant - sitting or walking - there is pain. Thinking about how much more pain there will be if I make an effort to get up to simply go to the bathroom, prevents me from moving. After sleeping the day due to pain, I called my mom and asked if I could come back over.
I am now sitting on my mom's couch and actually feel better just because I am not alone. I was worried something else might be wrong but I am glad the pain is all there is. Unfortunately, I am finding myself needing to take my heavy meds again...tylenol 3 and vicodin. Not to mention the 10-day cycle of antibiotics which I was told to begin yesterday. I hope this period is short lived because I am feeling as out of it as I did after my initial surgery.
