Day 3 - 5/18

Pain level has been a lot better. Probably went from a 8 to a 6 or 7. I still can't move it at all without feeling a strong sting.

I'm going to try to ween off the hydroxyzine and maybe just take it at night. That's the stuff that seems to be giving me a stomach ache, head ache, and dizzy. I still plan on taking the percocet on a regular basis. Possibly only 1 instead of 2 every 3 - 4 hours.

I still haven't been upstairs because I imagine that's going to hurt. And this is probably gross, but I haven't showered since the day of the surgery. The doc was very adamant about me not getting my cast wet, so I'm going to avoid the shower altogether. And I don't think I have the energy to do it.  The percocet makes me fall in and out of sleep. My post op appt is Monday at noon, so hopefully he'll give me good news. I'm hoping to take lots of pic of my foot when he opens up the dressing and also get a before and after shot of my xrays. 

Also, hoping he tells me the bones are healing (fusing)...

For now this is the next four weeks...

I blacked out today right before dinner. Scared mary pretty good,  and luckily we had some family here,  otherwise I would've fallen on my head and probably wrecked my foot. We called cade and he told me it happens when you lay down all day and don't slowly get up. 

Another thing to note is that my temperature has been fluctuating from normal to feverish(101) for most of the day. Another thing that cade was normal,  as long as it didn't stay at 101.

One more thing,  I was able to take a grandma style bath with the aid of mary of course. 

And the bowel movements have been better :)  but the process has not gotten any easier
