this works...
Surgery went fine, he got the pins out. Most of it I didn't feel a thing, I was awake for it and he just froze the area and then cut into me to the bone. I did however feel it when the pin was between the two bones and he had to wiggle it to get it out... it was grinding between the bones or something THAT HURT LIKE HELL.
He sutured me up and threw a dressing on and I got to go. Smarch picked me up (B/C she rawks) and took me to the pharmacy and I got some Burger King because I didn't eat beforehand because I was so nervous. I bled a lot, through my sock and started to through my jeans. I was moving around a lot though. Which BTW, freaks Smarch out. haha, she's all "TAKE IT EASY!!" and mother henning me. It was very adorable.
I got a Rx for antiboties, I said no to the painkillers 'cause they don't work... 100$ later, and I picked up some Tylenol anyway, and some dressings too because I was bleeding so much. All of which the Insurance Co will pay for.. but I did easily spend like $250!
Before I left for the hospital I checked on Digger (my Hedgehog) and found she had died.. I was very sad to see that. I dunno, I was in a little shock and I couldn't do anything right then because I had to leave, so I left to the hospital and then later in the evening I had to clean up her enclosure and such (Smarch helped). I felt bad. I dunno, she was like almost 6, and the average is between 4 to 6 years so... right on time I guess. But still.. much as she hated me, she was still part of the family, so I was sad. am sad.
I got all the boxes out of my room and put them in the spare room. Thanks to Smarch the carpets are vacuumed and I did dusting today and general organization. Tomorrow morning the insurance co is coming, I'm going to try to somehow wash the floors in the morning. It rained all day today and the dogs tracked in mud (go figure).
The antibiotics are hard to take, 4 times a day, basically every 6 hours and with food and lots of water and blah. I can almost 'taste' them in the back of my throat sometimes. but maybe it'll help with the swelling and stuff right? I rested a lot today with my foot up because my ankle where the sutures are does hurt and when I move it around too much it really stings.
I got permission to start Physio, I talked to insurance co and I can go anywhere, they recommended a place that is right downtown and easy to get to, so voila, I'm going there. I'll call them tomorrow to set up an appointment, and hopefully soon I'll be back at work!! I so need to be back at work! I hate not having anything to wake up for, something productive to do that isn't cleaning the house. (although I do like my house clean...)
