Had my cast put on today.
Plain old white one, they only had purple and thats not really my colour.
It has been pretty good, i haven’t had any pain, just the odd feeling of tightness but thats from when i do too much at work.
Still keeping leg elevated as much as i can during the day and especially at night.
I had my partner readjust my backslab and bandages today as the nurse at the drs when i had my stiches out did not rebanadage very tight.
I has to call my cousin to come and re do it, my loved one had gone to work and i couldnt stand the pressure on my leg/foot anymore, he had re bandaged to tightly and i am sure that my toes were gonna exploded. I even took a pain killer it was that bad. Anyway once i took the bandages off it was great releif.
I seem to have a very sore spot around my heel and ankle bone - has anyone else experienced this?
Seen the specialist today.
Waited 1 hour for a 3 minute appt.
Keep back slab on for another week so that the swelling goes down further…. uggh
To have cast on next week.
I haven’t had any pain releif since 5 days after operation, i just get a ache if i have done to much - like today spent 4 hours at work and i have hand enough for today.
Had my stitches out today - no infection thank god.
Have another appt with specialist tomorrow hopefully go in cast as still have backslab on.
Leg is getting really itchy. I have found that to have a good nights sleep i cuddle a body pillow (long straight pillow about the length of ones body) this helps find a comfortable position.
Didn’t go to work today didnt want to put any pressure on wound just in case it went pop. Even though i think the nurses would dress my wound for me i dont wont that to happen now.
Today i had my surgery to repair AT. I had to go over to Whyalla - 45 mins drive for day surgery.
I was suppose to fast from 6 am, but my partner suggested to start from midnight as you never know what could happen - just as well i listened to him for a change because when i got there the nurse came out and ask if i was here for sugery - no i was just sitting here in a wheelcahir (long cooridors to get to day surgery unit) for the sake of it - i didnt say that but like duh. Any way people had turned up and some had not fasted properly so i was upped on the list instead of waiting til the late afternoon i went into surgery at 10 am out of recovery at 12 noon and on the way home at 1.30 pm.
When getting home my partner decides that now he will have to buy a new recliner for me. So i ended up with a new cut, AT repaired, bigger backslab and a new lovely leather ounge suite - too dear just to buy one receliner why not buy a suite with 2 chairs and 2 recliner at the end of the lounge.
Pain was pretty stable just more of an ache than anything else.
