Day 24
Woke up in some discomfort but as I mentioned yesterday I think I am moving more in my sleep. I am still going to try and limit or not take pain meds today. My spirits are up a bit but I am on my last Lovenox injection and some of my discomfort remains in the lateral calf muscle so I must contact the pharmacy again. The surgeons nurse did not get back to me on Thursday or Friday regarding switching 1 of my antibiotics so my Coumadin level can be at therapeutic levels. She did say on Thursday she would get back with me on Friday for sure. In the medical field you have to take responsibility for your care. I f you wait for people to get back with you when they say or bill you a certain way.
Spent more of the day up on my crutches than in the chair and only took 1/2 pain pill at 4PM. The day is not over yet but I am excited
The rest of the day went just as well
