well it has almost been a week. i was down for two days with pain taking percs for management and it helped. elevated my feet. changed the bandages(which hurt like hell so took percs a half hour before changing them and showering.) and kept it clean. it still stings a little when i showered and the guaze stuck to the toe so after it stopped bleeding so much i went to just bandaids with triple antibiotic put on the part that goes over the sore to keep it from getting infection and changing the bandaids twice a day. i am letting them air out right now for the first time with no bandaids cause you can see it turning white. that is cause no air gets there cause of the bandaids so i figured i would let it air out before the hubby got home cause he will gag if he sees my toes right now. well its not like i want to see them either but its good for it.
i go tomorrow for my first follow up visit and i am hoping he says all looks good. i still have some pain but i havent taken any percs since saturday night although the way i am hurting i may have to tonight. the pain yesterday and saturday was kinda mild but today its stabbing in my right toe but everything i read says that is normal that sometimes it is more painful a week after than it was the week of cause of nerves growing back so who knows. i been being careful with the percs just in case. out of the 30 i had i have 20 left so i think i am doing pretty good. i am glad i had this done cause now i wont have to go thru this again god forbid. i managed to be able to finally go back to bedroom last night but hubby says i was turning alot last night so he may not let me in tonight lol cause i kept him up. that would explain why i feel so tired today.
i go back to work tomorrow which is good and sucks at same time. they wanted me to work at another store tomorrow from 4 to 2 am but i told them i have my 4:00 dr appointment and its hubbys bday tomorrow and after i sent them a message that if i have to cover at another store i would prefer to do it during the day and not at night cause the pain is worse at night and because it will be easier at my store vs another store with my toes and special shoes. i know my crew will help me so i dont want to chance it at another store and we wont be so busy that i cant sit when i need to.
bottom line is i am glad i got this done and im glad im almost done with it. hopefully tomorrow i can take a bath cause i am dying to soak in a warm tub of water vs showers.
