I haven’t been sleeping very well since the advent of das boot. I wake up during the night in pain and have to take it off in order to get back to sleep. So today I gave in and called the doctor and asked her to prescribe either a painkiller or a sleep-aid. I now have something waiting for me at the pharmacy that will enable me to get a decent nights sleep for a change. I hope with no side effects but we will see.
I think tomorrow I will start walking without the crutch for some things. I walked some short distances without it today and had no extra discomfort at all. Good deal.
Jen took the morning off so was able to run over to my moms and pick up a bath board so I will be able to shower for the first time in a week and a half. Basin baths are now a thing of the past. Yay!! She also was able to meet me for a quick lunch when I got through at the dentist. Luckily I wasn’t too numbed up to enjoy it. She said she is even thinking about taking Friday off too. That would be fun. Let's hope she does decide to spend the day with the gimp.
