Today started out rough, but it ended really well! They took me off my IV pain meds this morning (the diludad), and they replaced it with another oral pain med I can't prounce. I am still on the norco and I switch between them every 2 hours. This helps but its not as great as the IV pain meds so I can really feel how sore I am now. I had PT twice today, the first time was hard but the second time was better. She isolated and stretched a lot of my muscles which was actually really nice (and gave me a foot rub!). My knee was flexed up and it was really hurting but she got it to lay flat now so that feels better.
I haven't eaten much today, the food is really horrible and I start to feel sick - but I'm getting the food down that I can! Bryce left today at around 1ish.. so its just me but its been nice to just relax alone. My dad is coming tomorrow and he will be taking me home!
I miss Bella soo much! She was really excited to see Bryce today, she did her happy/excited dance (she stands in one spot and hops from foot to foot) and sqealed! She has been a good girl while we've been here. She kisses my picture goodnight every night! Bryce called (he left today around 1) and said that Bella has been walking around the house saying Mama?! looking for me. I am so excited to see her tomorrow I can barely wait!
Anyway, I am actually going to be stay at our house the whole time. Bryce can stay home with me this entire week and I think by next week Ill be fine to stay by myself during the day. Bryce doesn't work too long during the day and a home nurse and home PT will be there throughout the week, also.
So- right now I'm watching Mean Girls in the hospital, its the only thing on. Hopefully Illg et some sleep tonight with the pain med change. Wish me luck!
