I Am Recovering

Since I came home from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon, I have felt much better.

I remember that I was still pretty much out of it on Tuesday and there was some shooting pain on my calf. In addition, I was very drowsy...maybe I was still under the influence of morphine...

On Wednesday, I only took one percocet in the morning and there was no pain until I went to bed around 12:30 AM. Even though there was a lot of throbbing yesterday when I was talking between my room and our kitchen, both my roommate and Irene said I sounded a lot more alert and energetic.

I could feel so much gravity and pressure around the incision yesterday; to my surprise, the throbbing is a lot less today. For example, I was trying to take a shower and I was only uncomfortable for a minute. The throbbing is much more tolerable now. *phew*

Today is my first post-op visit with Dr. Charlton at the USC University Hospital. (Will write more about this in my next post!)

Tonight, friends are coming to my apartment to visit me. I'm not sure whether we are cooking, ordering take-outs, or whatever, but one thing for sure is I am going to have a good time - hopefully.
