Post Op

The surgery went well... I arrived at Roper St. Francis Hospital in Mt.Pleasant at approximately 12 and didn't leave till 8pm. My mom said that I was in surgery over a hour. So I ended up getting the calanael osteotomy and strayer procedures done on my left heel and calf ....
the last thing I remembered is taking deep breaths of air... think I took three full breaths before I was out cold.
I woke in the recovery room feeling and looking all disoriented. The recovery nurse gave me some sips of ginger ale soda and a few graham crackers. Took my first percocet. My mother was allowed in and they helped me get dressed,use the restroom,and removed my IV.  I was than wheeled done stairs and placed in my car.
It was a two hour drive from Mt. Pleasant to Beaufort Sc. (While typing this I got a ill sick and had a cup full of wendy's come up.Sorry if that was TMI)
Now im back and im feeling better actually.... Thank God for my husband and mom for there help with me,the kids and in general.
Back to business ...went to walgreens and made it there before the pharmacy was closed at 10pm.... the lady that was on shift said she could not service me be she was closed....LAZY THING...I was already hurting pretty bad in my calf and definetly my left heel area. I look across my mom at the clerk and was likens talking to you is getting me no where... Im going where I know they care and will service me THE NAVAL HOSPITAL, told my mom thank God I serve in the miltary because if I didn't i would have had to wait ill morning to get pain mess and im not sure that would have work. So there was no wait at the pharmacy window so I was in and out at Naval.
We stopped at Wendy's and head home. Of course the kids were sleep but my husband gaveme there little coloring well home cards they made me...sweet

Medial Calcaneal Osteotomy (Surgery April 28, 2011)

The procedure I am having done by definition is the cutting of the Heel bone and shifting toward the inside (medial). I was born flat foot, which for most people it really doesn't cause to many problems. Unlike, me most people are not  in the military. So after a deployment and four years of all the wear and tear on my feet. I decided to get the surgery done.
My surgery is planned for April 28th, which is just in two days. I am really nervous taking that I am a very independent person and having to rely on other is really out of my nature. But all in all I think in the long run Ill be OK.
Tomorrow Ill be meeting with one of my doctors to discuss how it will affect my military career short term. Ill post tomorrow and let you all know how it goes.
