Lobster Foot
I survived my surgery! It went so much smoother than I could have imagined. They blocked my nerve, which I have never had done before. I was lying in bed and they came and gave me pain meds through my I.V. which flipped the diarrhea of the mouth switch, and then inserted this huge needle behind my knee. In that soft fleshy part. I didn't even feel it. Just like an epidural though. It's still numb right now. I've been having that tingly (ants crawling all over) sensation for hours now. Like it's in the process of waking up. I can also start to feel lightening bolts of pain. Only lasts a second, but it's starting.
Cary got me this knee walker. It's a bad ass scooter that I imagine putting lightening bolts on. It's been a lifesaver. Using it instead of crutches.
Worst part so far is not being able to sleep on my stomach. It's not in a cast because of the swelling I imagine so it's wrapped in bright blue gauze like a lobster.
I thought I would have so much time to draw. But I don't feel like doing much of anything. I'm not in pain, just..... not energetic and the meds are obviously blocking any kind of discipline or energy I might have had. It is just the day after though.
I also thought I'd lose a couple of pounds but I find I'm hungry. All of the time. And I'm not even on steroids.
