Home Sweet Home

It was great to be able to sleep in my own bed last night. The only bad thing was it was really hard to find a position to be comfortable in. The hospital bed I was able to move the back part up but in my bed I lay completely flat on my back. My leg isn't suppose to turn inward so my heel was really hurting! I know it sounds wierd. I woke up a lot because I was in a lot of pain because I don't have someone waking me up with pain meds anymore. I came down to the couch pretty early because Bryce had a meeting for an hour this morning and I wouldn't be able to get down the stairs by myself. PT taught me how to go down the stairs with one crutch, but I get sooo tired about halfway down. I know some of you are thinking this has disaster written all over it with my history of clumsiness! When I got down the stairs I got really hot and felt like I was going to get sick :( I feel asleep on the couch for a few hours.

Im really uncomfortable and the pain is pretty bad. My leg spams and jerks sporatically and it hurts when it happens because it makes my leg jump up. They said this is normal though since they had all my muscles spread apart for 6 hours during the surgery. I guess it makes since!

A rough, strange home nurse came to my house this morning to take my blood so they can check these levels to make sure I don't get a blood clot. She was really wierd and couldn't even get any blood drawn. She stuck me twice! So she is going to come back tomorrow I guess......

Now I'm just going to try to sleep so I can forget about the pain! I'm still really sleepy and this is pretty much what my day consist of... dosing off in a medicated coma!
