Tylenol 3 & prenatal vitamins
So as I head into the first weekend post-op, I’m reminded of how hilarious my situation is. I ate lunch and go to take my Tylenol 3 (down to 1 tab at a time) and figure I should take my prenatal vitamin while I have a full stomach. Yes I’m almost 7 weeks pregnant and I’m in a cast, non-weight bearing, recovering from AT repair surgery. Some people might figure it’s a dream gig- on paid leave from work, laying around all day long…… the truth is I’m going crazy! After the injury I figured I would use this time NWB to work on my abdominals and upper body. Now a little 1/4″ little developing person has changed all of that. I have to be worried about everything and anything that goes in my body.
Good news is that the pain has gone down quite a bit- although I’ve been trying to ice it very consistently. I highly recommend the Icy cold clay packs- the xl fits most of the way around my cast. I have 2 that I am rotating and it works pretty well.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Great timing. Nwb is so bad and seems to last forever but you will get there. I was so jealous reading everyone else’s blogs talking about their rehab. Just hope you don’t get morning sickness. It could get quite messy.
