Day 35
Forgot to inject Lovenox last night. I fell asleep on the recliner and my fiancée slept on the couch next to me to be close . She is such a sweetheart. I am so lucky to have a person like her in my life. I slept until 6 AM at least.
There is some pain with WB but it is with WB and then isn't there. I am trying to decide when to go to a crutch.
I have a pain pill on the side waiting for me. The problem is it only hurts when I try to get up without enough bilateral upper extremity support or any rotation during WB & sometimes a little with straight walking. I did too much and am now backing off. Not taking the pain pill just staring at it. My mind is finally clearing.
Tomorrow I'll find if my Coumadin level has changed any. Don't hold my breath.
