Hi Maria,
I hope you stop the sweeping the neighborhood. Get some sleep tonight. I had been sleeping better , only 4 hours until it is time for the next dose of meds. I'm so glad tomorrow is almost here. I almost want to just stay up , it will be hard getting up at 4:30 to take a painful shower. but they do want you showered that morning if at all possible and i certainly do not want to deal with infection.
I will watch what i do when i get home this time, i hope. This time it will actually be for healing and not just waiting to have it all removed. I feel all hunched over because i haven't stood up in 5 weeks. My foot no longer feel like they are on fire so there has been some little improvements. Also once i got home i had better meds and took them every 4 hours. In the hospital i was only getting IV tylenol and every 6 or so. After that was done, it was calling for the nurse for pain meds and usually being told it is not time yet. Or having her bring something really mild.
I will write when i can, hopefully soon. Thanks for your prayers and kind thoughts, i sure need them all .
judy
