During my sleep last night I reached out for the railing that I had on the side of my hospital bed.
“Why did they take it down? What if I fall off the bed?”
And then I remembered that I was actually back home!
We went to the doctor today. The walk from the car to the entrance really tired me. He checked the wound and re-bandaged my foot. I caught a glimpse of my toes: they were so swollen 🥺 but he assured me that it’s normal.
His prescriptions:
Physio - 3x a week
Bandage change - 2x a week
Thrombosis Injections - daily
My stitches will be removed at a hospital in two weeks and I’ll have a consultation before the next surgery.
“You have no choice now, but to rest,” doctor told me - knowing all too well that I didn’t rest sufficiently when I had Covid last month.
I’ll need to be laying on my back while I have this boot on. My neck already feels sore today so I’ll look into getting a special pillow for the sofa. I’ve already ordered a “leg raiser.”
Any tips for laying comfortably on the sofa?
Please share. 🙏🏼
