Well I'm now past the two week mark and only have three more weeks left on crutches. It has been one hell of a journey, and one that I hope doesn't have to happen again. Yesterday was not a good day for the Szostek household. I woke up feeling some slight pains in my the front of my hip, and of course I forgot to mention my new friend the bed sore that I now have. The day only got worse, by the time Rachel got home I had a terrible migraine and was throwing up the rest of the night. I don't know why I was chosen to have such a terrible recovery but it's nothing like I expected. First the edema and swelling in my leg leading me to the ER, then the horrible stomach cramps and pains for three days, then the bed sore, and now the migraine. I just want to be done I know that the point of this blog is for my to track my progress and try to stay positive but it's just so hard right now when everything seems to be against me and so difficult. But I know I will survive and I know it can only get better from here.
Anyway back from the dark side I thought I would post a picture of my incisions. They are healing nicely since the stitches came out and seem to be doing well.
Other than that my range of motion seems to be coming back more and more every day and I now feel comfortable laying on my side more. I am learning a lot from this whole experience and in the days that I've been here I now have a better grasp on what's important and what doesn't need to be rushed. And I'll leave with the words of The Temptations, "Ain't to proud to beg and you know it."
