Two aunts and two cousins visited me from Taiwan for a total of 8 days. They finally left on Friday. I believe everyone had a great time during these 8 days; however, it was a very tiring 8 days for me. First of all, I planned awful lot of things to do and places to visit during their visit, because I wanted them to get the most out of this expensive trip. But then my injury was in the way a lot of the times. For example, my foot would swell up at the end of the day - everyday! So I had to prop it up and ice it every single night when I sleep.
The turning leg caddy definitely had made my life a lot easier, because using crutches along certainly would have been that much more difficult to go through 3 theme parks (Disneyland, Universal Studio, and Sea World) in three days plus all the tourist must-sees in the Greater Los Angeles area. Additionally, this caddy had made me almost like a star wherever I go. People would stare or even come up to me to express their opinions on how clever this gadget is! I swear...using it all over the place made me feel like a celebrity. =)
Tomorrow is my third time going in for physical therapy, but the first week where I will be doing three times a week like Dr. Charlton ordered. For the past two weeks, I had only went in for one therapy a week because my family was visiting and I simply could not find time to do two more therapies a week without sacrificing the daily activities that I had planned for my family. Let's see how I do this week with three time of P.T. a week.
Oh, finally, I received the bill from the hospital for my surgery. THANK GOD THAT I HAVE INSURANCE! I only owe the hospital (after insurance) a total of $322; instead of the pre-insurance charge of $22,500. What a difference my insurance made, right?! So people, learn from my example and do get yourself some sort of insurance somehow!! It's worth it, to say the least.
