I am home....

Thanks so much for the MANY prayers. I appreciate them all greatly. I got home yesterday and have been put on basically bed rest. My left leg is still EXTREMELY painful. I can hardly walk on it. Even laying it on the bed is VERY painful. Last night the pain was so intense that I had to take some pain meds, percoset. That really helped me. I had just one dosage, so I told Kenneth to go ahead and fill them. I hate taking pain meds, but it's like an 8 or 9 at time from 1-10. I was able to weight before I came home, that was a big mistake being my leg is swollen double and has major protein retention. I had only lost 6 pounds in a 3 week period, but again between the cellulitis and IV fluids, it's off. Only wish I'd been able to weight before all this had set in, I can't complain cause even with 6 pounds and all this added stuff that's really good. I go back to my pcp this next Wednesday for followup on my leg. It feels like my leg is going to explode. I hate feeling so tired and seems like all I've wanted to do since getting home is sleep. I'm trying to get rested up. Amy 615/570/504
