PAO Surgery Journey
Learned a lot my first half day and full night at home. Chixwithtrix is going to have to stick with it!
Family came by in the afternoon after being discharged from the hospital and that was energizing! Brought Rudy’s brisket too 😉
Took my first shower…which was very needed after the blood caked in my hair from neural monitoring. The nurses helped me with a few towel baths, but still no replacement for a shower.
Sleep was tough. Got super nauseous and since I sleep like a corpse, I’m starting to get pressure points. My left heel was on fire, and there was nothing I could do since still can’t really move the surgery leg.
Pain killers helped, but will be working on my sitting exercises today to combat the bed soreness. Leg is swollen, but seems to have reached a point and stopped.
My hands hurt! Fortunately decked out my walker with some wheels, tennis balls, and noodles for comfort.
This is going to be slooooow. But I have to remember…two surgeries later I’m missing a lot of bone and held together by screws.
Follow along with my journey: Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 16
