I had a lovely nights sleep, no disturbances and NO SCRATCHING! Can you believe they found out I was actually alergic to morphine! The only pain killer that does the job I couldn't have. Apparently my husband brought it up after I came out of recovery. He told them I had a reaction to something because it wasn't me to act like I did. I don't remember any of it, but he said I was scrathing like a dog infested with fleas LOL. I was given all sorts af anti-histamines to combat the itching but it wasn't until I got home that I took 3 one day benydrylls to cure it! Kill or cure as they say!
I was in alot of pain yesterday and spent the majority of it crying! I think alot of it was to do with the anesthetic and sheer tiredness.The nurses were waking me up every 15 minutes because my oxygen levels kept dropping.Nightmare! The physio's - well!!! If I had the energy to pick my crutches up and smack him round the head wth them I would have. I didn't even have the energy to answer him. I did my bit and sat an cried to Mom.
I came home and felt much better, away from all the ballyhoo of 'Ward life' - Ward life still sux lol. I didn't get up to much, just took more pain killers and went right back to bed!
I woke feeling like a million bucks today! I really couldn't believe it. My leg didn't give me any trouble through the night - I slept right through. I managed to walk on my bad leg - the same exercise the physio wanted me to do yesterday. I managed it and it didn't hurt. I have to use the crutches though, but it's more than I expected myself to do, because yesterday I thought the task was impossible and that I'd never do it; but look, I did it. Im happy with it.
It's now time for the exercises then followed by 'Ice treatment'. Talk to you soon.x
