I have my first follow up appointment tomorrow.
He-who-is-helpful will put me AND the wheelchair into the Jeep and I'll have my first "outing" since they released me after surgery.
He-who-refuses-to-leave-me-alone is quite happy with where things are at: The incision is continuing to heal with no apparent issue, I've completed one regiment of medications to combat blood clots and I've averaged about one third of what was scripted for pain management. I look better and make more sense than I did 10 days ago when they released me....so I'm told....
I'm not sure I agree about the 'making more sense' deal...but I'll take it and be pleased that he's pleased.
I figure there's progress cuz it's feeling like it was only ONE Mac truck...as opposed to the whole fleet. Things make sense to me...at least The information going IN does....notsomuch my responses TO the information...but I'll take any inch of progress! OH...And I actually have clean hair....still have the furry, yellow leg deal goin' on. And I've decided that yellow crap isn't to sterilize your bit for surgery. It's what they varnish ya with so none of your potentially germy gunk flies into their workspace....
Seriously....10 days and still yellow!! I did discover that nail polish remover WILL take the yellow crud off...which I happily shared with he-who-cares-about-me.
..."as will lacquer thinners and white spirits, no doubt---but we will not be using them on your body."
I smiled.
He noted they were in a cabinet in the basement.
Damn.
There's an indication of how NONfunctioning my brain has been....neither of those (...nor the can of furniture stripper) even popped into my messed up brain for consideration.
.....until now.......

Just caught this post, Mel. My time difference (to yours) is so haywire at times. So today is the day... I wish you well from afar. Bear with it, you're definitely on the mend. Hugs.
[sigh] 10 days already!! 1/3 of the pain meds offered is good. That he won't leave you. Yup...good too. That you're making sense. Well...unless we want some comedy relief...yup that's good. Paint thinner...um....well...I think that's best left in the basement. And it's probably pretty safe down there unless you're planning on a DIY roller coaster. [wink]
I'll be praying for your appointment today. That your progress will be better than they expected....and that somehow...the-one-who-likes country drives will take you on a brief excursion and you'll be up for it. Hey...a little fun and new scenery does a gal some good. ;) And I think you need a little of that. Yes?
(((((Mel))))
Hope all goes well today, Mel!
Sending ya a BIG cyber hug of Reiki...
