I do! I do! Hey sweetie. I've been pretty much staying in bed 24/7 with my foot propped up on 3 pillows and the ice boot on it...just as the doctor ordered (7 days with it elevated above my heart and then 5 weeks with it elevated above my hips). Once in the morning (now) I'll deter to the computer room after I do my morning potty routine. This lasts about 10 minutes or so. Then it's back to the bed. I try to get my morning coffee drank as I sit here too. So much easier than doing it in bed! Yesterday was a pretty owie day. It started off ok, but then I went to put on the walking boot so I could go in the kitchen & wash my hair and clean up. I don't know if it was that wire or what but that hurt quite abit. I took off the boot without even making it out of the bedroom and used crutches to go into the kitchen instead. For the rest of the day, it was a pretty regular, every 4 hours, thing of taking the pain meds. I'm hoping today will be better. I did get a lot of sewing done at least...lol. Biggest problem right now is being constipated. Darn anesthesia! I think they put me into a deeper sleep or something this time because with the right foot, I wasn't constipated at all afterwards and this time, I had this nasty taste in my mouth for a good 24 hours afterwards. I'm just continuing with my softeners and fiber and hope something kicks in soon! That's about it I guess. Time for me to head back to bed. I'll hop back on for about 5 minutes tonight before I turn in for the night. You all have a terrific day! Sherri
