In the interest of cutting down on the pain meds, I decided to forgo my bedtime dose of Percocet. That was a mistake. About 4:00 am I was awakened by a shooting pain down my left left to my foot. This was a totally new occurrence. I rolled onto my back and thankfully it subsided. I rolled myself out of bed, limped to the bathroom and took that Percocet. Thirty minutes later, relief came.
I’m thinking it may have been a muscle spasm that caused the leg pain as all of the nerves were released by the surgery and not impinged anymore. Or, it may have been “an awakening” from a nerve that was previously impinged and healing. 🤷🏻♀️
Whatever it was, I’m happy to report that I am having no trouble sitting today.
Tomorrow is my last in home PT with Brad. I was all excited to get myself set up with outpatient PT. I called the doctor’s office for a referral and was told I would need to wait until my 4 week appointment to get cleared for that PT. Bummer! So I’ll keep up with the home stuff for two more weeks.
Rex got his walk this morning (1 mile). Today is a good day ❤️ (Click the photo, it's a video)
