Well, I slept good! Don't think I woke up any during the night! Woke up at 6:40 and realized I might need to try to get Cobb up but I heard her in the kitchen before I got up the gumption to get up. Then, I went back to sleep until 7:15 or so! Sack got up late and, of course, said it was my fault when she knew I wouldn't be able to help much. It was raining hard when it was time to leave and Sire didn't really want to drive her but I insisted and finally he saw the light.
I took the bandage off! All of them! The stitch is ug-lee. My 2nd and 3rd toes are bruised. I was surprised. Little bit of bruising on the top of my foot. Can't imagine what it's going to look like when it all heals. Now, however, I don't really want to get up. I was walking pretty good before, with the ACE bandage on it. I need to take a shower!!! I don't really want to stand on 1 foot in the shower, though! So, I thought I might take a bath and keep my foot/leg out of the tub, but that's a lot of work, too, and I don't really think I'll get as clean in the bathtub. It feels weird to move my toes now that they are naked. I really don't think I'll be moving them very much at all until the stitches come out. I just wish I knew how long I'll need to take pain medicine whether it be hydrocodone or Advil. Hydrocodone seems like overkill. I just don't know!
Last night I inhaled a bit of water and got choked. Well, not choked like I needed the Heimlich Maneuver, but just coughing it out. I really and truly think it is because I had that tube down my throat for the airway during surgery. Gosh, it just seems like such a big ordeal just to take out that nerve! I've been thinking, "What have I gotten myself into".
