Engaging

I would have gotten Maroon and Orange if they had it...



I finally came off my painkillers completely. Last night was the first time I didn't take any during the night. I am just on a lot of Tylenol. Ugh, this surgery has been SO much worse than last time, but I guess that is just because it was so much more invasive.

I went to the doctor on Tuesday and they took the last cast off and took my stitches out. That luckily hurt MUCH less than last time. Also, I found out that I had 2 new holes/incisions on the left/outside part of my knee. I didn't expect those, but apparently they have to do those to get the screws through and the ligament straight, whatever. Then they put me in a new cast. My doctor attempted to put me into a red and blue cast for Boston or draw a 'B' on my cast. My Yankee side nearly had a heart attach. The cast goes from my ankle up to my thigh. This one is MUCH MUCH worse than the cast last week. That one at least had a little give. This one is so solid. At least i now have a cast people can sign. It is so tough to sit and do anything because my leg just sticks straight out, I can't even fit in Justin's truck. And the bathroom is a whole nother experience.



Tonight Tech plays again. Hopefully it'll go better than last week!!! Some Tech friends are coming over to watch the game and bringing us some food. Our friends and family have been awesome. Some one has come over and brought us food every night since surgery except 1 night, and that night we just had one of the tons of frozen meals that Justin's mom made for us. And tomorrow Jason and Holly are coming down from Baltimore to see us. They were with us the day the whole knee accident occurred, so they get to see this through full circle.

Okay, my house is a mess and people are coming over and I cannot clean up. UGH! This is driving me nuts. But I did get to take my first shower today. It was interesting. 2 plastic bags, 1 lawn leaves plastic bag and a lot of tape later, I am clean! I just wish I could be in there long enough to shave my other leg. It is getting out of control. Gross!

Wishing my husband was home to clean!! And to maybe get me a glass of wine because I deserve it now that i'm off the pain meds.


Life is boring when you are stuck at home all day in a full leg cast.
