Its been more than a week I've suffered from a numb and painful feet.
Hope this is a phase of recovery and it'll be over real soon.
My sleep has been upside down and I need to get it back to normal soon.
Other than that, right knee and ankle are still swollen. Gonna be careful with it.
2 weeks post surgery now, 4 weeks to go (hopefully) before I can walk again.
Fingers crossed.
The feet is suffering some severe periodical sharp pain.
It tingles, tingles, and hurts like fuck. Sharp, sharp pain around the feet and toes area. Then it goes away for a while, and then the pain comes back.
Hope this pain will not be lasting, as it is disturbing my sleep at night.
Weekends are always the hardest time to endure.
The withdrawal from hanging out with friends during the weekend is monstrous.
Also, I'm having a little problems with sudden and sharp pains in my feet. Can't tell if they were joint pain or just random pain caused by I don't know what.
FML
Physio was overall pretty good.
Well, to be fair, it was my first time going for physiotherapy, so I wouldn't know how to differentiate the good from the bad.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the session and was pretty satisfied.
Main observations today are the reduced swelling around the calf and shin area. Also the improved mobility of the knee. I can almost lock my knee straight. Almost. And I can bend way pass 90 degress.
But. The swell on the knee is still very obvious. Let's see what happens over the weekend.
On other note, doctors appointment is ob Monday. I'm pretty excited to see how my wound looks like now. And also would want to find out more information about my rehabilitation and recovery.
Also, something weird today arised. I am feeling some sharp, but short pain all around my bad leg. Don't know what is the cause of it but let's hope it's no big deal.
Forgive the title.
I woke up with a pretty bad ache on my knee and shin. The pain is kind of everywhere and I couldn't pin point its exact location. But it doesn't feel like it is the incisions.
I wonder is it because that I have been skipping the pain killers recently. Maybe I should be back on them until a later period where the swelling and pain subsides.
Finally, after 5 days of uncomfortable bed, unfamiliar toilet, 7-channel-only 28 inch tele, I am home.
And my road to recovery begins. Again.
I hate that word, reboot.
After an extremely eventful surgery 2 days ago. Including my first epidural, waking up during procedure, I am (hopefully) recovering well.
The doctor has removed the old crooked plate, and inserted an interlocking pin to hold my bones in place and tight.
Well now all I can do is rest, and more rest. Make sure this time I don't do anything stupid.
