Tomorrow is the big day
Well still no wheels. The ice storm has slowed UPS down so I still don’t have my package. I was hoping to have it before my Dr. visit tomorrow, but I guess that’s not going to happen.
Tomorrow I head back to Dubuque to have my first post op appointment. I’m ready to see this bad boy. I am tempted to take my FlipVideo along to tape them taking out the staples, but then you’d probably hear me in the background.
I went back to work full time yesterday and the days, especially the afternoons, have been pretty long. I am able to put my foot up on my desk to keep it somewhat elevated, which helps. Lately I’ve noticed that my foot is tingling and my muscle in the splint has been “jumping”. Not sure if that is normal or not. Guess I find out tomorrow.

Yup, the foot on the desk trick sounds good, but never works as well as you want, and my butt kept falling asleep!
Needless to say it will get better before you know it. I also had the “jumping” calf…it is preferred over the “cramping” calf, which could happen too after you have had your foot/leg in a stretched out position for awhile. Imagine a charlie horse you can’t really do much about!
