...nothing better than spending the holidays with family!
Days 6-8 Post-op
Ankle pain is definitely getting worse and feels like a charlie horse that won't go away! No position is comfortable, heat and ice really have no effect...although heat may actually make it worse. Apparently my knee pain decided to get worse before getting better...it hasn't gotten better yet so I am hoping it starts to ease up in the next couple of days..especially seeing as I am going in for ankle surgery soon!
I barely slept the first night at my grandma's house. It's possible I was just over excited because the Bruins destroyed the Panthers 8-0, but if I had to guess I'd say it was my knee pain that wouldn't respond to Tylenol. I made the switch to the recliner last night and it definitely helped. However, I realized that I am not heavy enough to keep the recliner in an outstretched position. Every time I would spread out, it would collapse right back to upright...so I positioned pillows around my head and it worked out perfectly.
Last night we went to a Christmas Eve party at my Aunt and Uncle's house. I sat in the same chair all night and unfortunately was very uncomfortable. My ankle pain was horrible and I accidentally brought the wrong medication--meaning I felt sick towards the end of the night because I hadn't taken Neurontin. Nonetheless it was still a great time to be surrounded by family. And I got the Bruins pillow pet which I named "Bergy" after my favorite player, Bergeron!
Today I am at my grandmas house! We always celebrate Christmas at my grandmas. We had a lovely breakfast this morning and then opened presents. I asked for a Bruins jersey (obviously with Bergeron) and I opened it this morning! So excited..can't wait to wear it to a game with one of my Bruins scarves! I got a Bruins shirt, scarves and socks as well. It has been a very 'Bruins' Christmas...and the 8-0 win just makes everything better!
I am looking forward to seeing the rest of my family and eating lots of yummy food.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and/or Hanukkah!
