Last night I finally started to feel some real pain. Not unexpected but not enjoyable either. I also got some deep sleep but my balance at 4 am was poor and I had to put some weight on my leg to avoid falling. I don't think I did any damage but the adrenaline spike kept me awake for a while last night.
Teresa often jokes about my habit of kicking in my sleep, especially after I watch soccer. This morning, even though I didn't watch the US-Guadalupe soccer game last night, I kicked with my injured leg in my sleep. What a wonderful way to wake up!
Buster has been extremely gentle around me and my injured leg. He is a border collie/ blue heeler mix and has tons of energy but seems to know that I am not 100% and is being very careful not to make it worse.
I am beginning to see some direct impacts of the surgery on work, skipping a conference call on Thursday and having some work go stagnant because I am not able to function yet. I was optimistic yesterday about being able to get up to campus at the end of the week but now am thinking it might be the end of next week.
I see the acupuncturist on Thursday and maybe that will help me turn a corner on this and start to feel some heeling instead of feeling like I am mainly trying to avoid tearing my stitches.
