Rough Weekend...

Well it's Sunday afternoon and it has been one hell of a weekend for me. :(   Friday afternoon I went for my 2 week follow up on my knee surgery. Dr.B said my knee looks great and its moving great.  We discussed the RSD and my referral to the pain doc. He did tell me not to expect to come off my crutches anytime soon. Friday was a very busy day for me with errands and what not.

I haven't had any of the swelling associated with RSD until now, Friday night after a trip to Walmart I noticed my sock was tight and I was having a hard time bending my toes. Sure enough, my foot and toes were swollen. UGH!! is all I can say about that.

This is a picture of my foot when I noticed the swelling, later on that night it got worse. The night didnt get any better. With all the swelling, I was also having alot of pain too. I had the worse time sleeping Friday night. Think I may have slept about 3 hours total. I felt HORRIBLE!

Saturday wasnt much better either. I was in pain all day, slept a little better sautrday night.

Here is what some of the symptoms of RSD are.

Today has been horrible too, I was in the bath this morning and while reaching to place my phone on the toilet, I somehow managed to drop my RSD foot into the water. OMG! It hurt so bad that I ended up getting nauseated. I thoought that the nausea would pass after I laid down. Oh boy was I wrong. Lets just say my breakfast didnt stay down too long. Tomorrow is Monday and it will be my first day back to work. Oh lets see how this goes. I am praying that I get some sleep tonight and that I can keep the pain down as much as possible tomorrow while at work. Wish me luck on this.

 

As always,
