Hello From Crankyland

Surgery took place, on schedule, on Sept. 5th. I have lost big chunks of time since then, thanks to the happy pills, percoset, a/k/a oxycodone. NOBODY told me it was going to hurt this much, post-surgery! This hurts SO damn much. The freaking cast weighs about 40 pounds and I have to keep my foot elevated at a 45 degree angle, as much as possible, for the first two weeks. I can barely drag myself between the bed and the dreaded potty chair. Have to use a walker. Can't be trusted with crutches whilst I am on happy pills.

This is the first time I have fired up the laptop and this is not going to last long. Talked to the surgical nurse today and she said to keep on taking the pills until I got back next Wednesday for my cast change. Maybe I can get something lighter, so I don't face injury everytime i turn over in bed.
