Day One. 9 AM.

I didn't sleep real good last night. I woke up about every hour. The pain in my foot is what woke me up even though it wasn't really all that bad. I finally realized that I needed to take a pain pill. It didn't help like it did during the day yesterday. I think part of the pain was because my foot wasn't propped up like it should have been. I just put the shoe on and walked to the bathroom and it was hard. I like the crutches better. I didn't think I'd like the crutches because it takes so long to go somewhere but it's better than hopping/limping. So, I've had my regular, good breakfast and I've taken a pain pill. At first I didn't think I would be groggy but now, an hour later, it is making me a little bit groggy. But I wanted to get caught up on this, mail, facebook, WWF, etc. before I close my eyes for a while.

Some things I didn't expect were bruises (or, it feels like bruise; I haven't looked at it yet) 1) under my chin, 2) on my chest and 3) on the back of my head. I'm wondering if 1) the nurse anesthetist put too much pressure when she "cocked" my head back and pulled up on my chin really hard, 2) maybe they set something on my chest that was real heavy and 3) my head was on a hard surface and not on a pillow. I keep forgetting to look in the mirror when I'm up. When Sire gets up I have a few things I need him to do, including looking to see if these are really bruises. Oh, and I also have a place on the inside of my lower lip on the left side. I'm glad it isn't a fever blister.

I just don't know if I need to be wiggling my toes or not. It hurts more than yesterday to do so. It seems like wiggling them would help healing because it would increase blood flow (even just a little), but I don't know.

I've been itching a little bit. That probably means I shouldn't take hydrocodone. That happens to my mom. No rash or anything but it's annoying having to scratch so much. That may have been what woke me up so much.
