Okay, it's been a week now; I'm ass-u-ming you're probably in more pain now (PT/age).

Are you at your home?

When you do go home, is there someone who can 'hang-out'/help a couple times per day?

Hope you're feeling GREAT very soon.

Love,

Patti

I am still at the rehab facility for an unspecified period. I have been receiving physical/occupational therapy to get me ready for going back home.

No, I really haven't experienced much pain at all. I haven't needed (or wanted) the painkillers since Thursday. I can get them when I need them but I'm fine without them.

I will have care when I go home but specifics have not been discussed yet.

It's so nice to hear that things are working out so well.  [snow_happy]  And hopefully that will continue throughout your whole recovery.

Thanks! I'm sure that it will go ahead just fine! I've been through worse (cancer surgery in 1987). This is inconvenient but certainty not unendurable. [Witch_Potion_Animated] [Witch_Potion_Animated]

Field trip to see the surgeon today! Everything is healing properly and he is very pleased with my progress. Next week, he's going to remove the stitches and fit me with a boot. Nancy Sinatra worthy, I hope! Once I can start putting weight on the foot, I should be able to head back home. [cheerleader] [cheerleader] [cheerleader] [cheerleader]

Thanks, everyone. Seriously, this hasn't been all that bad. I don't mean to go all Pollyanna but a positive attitude makes a big difference in situations like this!

As of today, I am now independent. I don't need any assistance transferring myself from the bed to the wheelchair and back again (Don't tell anyone here that I've been doing that for a week. Ssh!) My balance has improved too. I can stand on the good foot for up to 20 minutes. The next step is getting the stitches out later this week. Once I can put weight on the other foot, then it shouldn't be too much longer until I can go home. [8341] [8341] [8341]

Definitely!

(And I love that song - I've been hearing it a lot on the radio lately.)
