Day 4 Post-Op

The night was unpleasant. The pain got worse and I could not seem to get comfortable.  My foot felt like it was on fire and that vulchers were picking at my foot.  I'd say the pain was at a level 5. Still, not as bad as last year, which I'm not complaining about but I'm stilllll waiting to celebrate because it could get drastically worse at any moment.  The dressing is already super loose so that must mean the swelling has gone down drastically.  I just stayed in bed all day and continued to elevate.  Tomorrow I get to shower so I am extremely excited about that.  I also pooped twice today (the pain medicine really constipates you so you have to supplement with laxatives and stool softeners).  So the night was rough, but the day hasn't been too bad.
