Once I woke up from the anesthesia after the surgery was over, I realized that there was a lot about my first surgery (on the right leg) that I had forgotten. I think it was more that I developed a type of amnesia that we all sometimes do to protect ourselves. I forgot about the PAIN! And I mean pain with a capitol P. Just trying to stretch my leg out fully was a nightmare. This time I had special bandages over the incisions. A nurse told me that there was an antibiotic on them to help keep the chance of infection down to a minimum.
I kept moving it, regardless and it eventually did become less painful. I knew I needed to be mobile before they would let me leave and I was determined to be able to walk the hallway without the need for any help. I made it...obviously...LOL!
Mustachio made it down here to stay with me for the first few days. He'll do some visiting while he's here. He wants to go and see Gunner...the newest addition to the family. He also wants to see Sheepie and Teach. Plus he will go visit with Tara and her kids for a bit. He's planning on stopping to see Marcus on his way back home so he'll get to see all the family as well as helping me out for a bit.
This is going to be short because I have been sitting up a bit longer than I think the doctor thought I would be able to and my leg is feeling it. I need to get it elevated as soon as I take my pills. Love you all and I missed you. It's been a while since I was offline this long.
Have a great Friday and an even better weekend. ***Hugs***
