Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Ok, so I was told that I could take the dressing off today and just put simple bandages over incisions. Fine with me, cause even though I was fine yesterday and monday, today, my leg is swelling like a tree trunk... It HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRTS! Right now, I'm just killing time till the pain meds kick in... I will have to rewrap the leg, so I can put The Ice Man on, (if anyone doesn't know what that is, ask and I will explain), because he shouldn't be touching bare skin, but I will wrap it *my* way, and *the better way*. Paramedics know more about wound care than doctors...trust me. Anyhow... It hurts, and I hope I'm not developing DVT. I got a walker yesterday, and since they told me I could do simple walking exercises, and since walking with a walker isn't as easy as it looks, I went to the bank then to the grocery store. I wonder if I over did it? I was only gone for maybe an hour? Hour-and-a-half? We shall see. It hurts! -- Dodge Read my blog at: http://jumpthis.wordpress.com Visit me at: http://www./group/a_different_reality And my adults only journal at: http://www.my-journal.com/slaveheat You can check out the progress of my new service dog in training here: http://www.my-journal.com/demonsjournal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
