Post Surgery Day Two
Today is the 2nd day after the surgery and I am getting adjusted to somethings, but there is still some adjustment …
1) I think I may have the pain meds figured out, if I take the meds and then take a nap for 1-2 hours and not eat, then the nausea seems to pass while I am sleeping. I have been able to eat alot better today.
2) Its hard to find the perfect position for my right foot, when I am sleeping or sitting on the couch. I find I am always switching positions with my foot whenever I am laying down or sitting down. This especially occurs when I sleep … no matter what position, there is always some part of the cast that seems to be pushing on the wound (which I believe is on the outside right side of my right foot).
3) Took my first post-surgery bath. We bought these cast covers from Curad @ Walgreens and they seem to work pretty good. It also helps to have the chair and now a shower head that is more portable.
