I haven't been posting on a consistent basis because the pain and discomfort level has remained the same. The most swelling/pain/discomfort/itching comes in the middle of the night and early in the morning. Not sure why this happens, but I've tried icing, elevating, everything. What I do now is just take the hydroxyzine before I goto bed and then sometimes a Percocet in the middle of the night if I can.
I have a 2 week post op appt on Wednesday with Dr Gubler (Cade is on vacation this week). He's going to take my stitches and I think I'm going to get a walking boot, although I won't' be able to walk on it. I'm just hoping I can remove the boot every once in awhile so I can scratch the crap out of my itches. Doing a google search doesn't give me any idea of what the boot looks like because it looks like everyone has a different flavor of boot. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
