10 days post-op
What a difference a week makes! Yesterday I ‘booty’ climbed the stairs to get a real shower, it was amazingly easy compared to trying it at day 3. Went to the movies with my mom, used the scooter for the first time, the wheelchair and crutches have been best for getting around the condo. Went to BJs later with the boyfriend, again on the scooter, at the end of the day I was nicely tired. I had some swelling by then but all in all, the swelling has really been minimal. My 1st post op appointment was on Wed, doc said everything looked good, got rid of the miles of gauze and put me in one ace wrap. I was told to take the boot/bandage off daily and let it air, back in 2 weeks for stitches/staple removal, I have both. Stitches in the lower incision and staples in the upper. Also at the next appt, a new boot, the one I will eventually begin walking in. Tomorrow I will return to work, I have a mostly desk job, we’re going to the office today and prep my area, for elevating, etc. I’m going to try and attach a photo of my incisions.
