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
