Well I tried weening off of the pain medication over the past two days. Had to take two percocet again tonight as my foot is hurting pretty bad. The pain may have been caused by the stupid Hyundai commercials with the chick who sings the Christmas songs. I hate those commercials. All the awesome singers and bands in the world, and they have to choose some stupid couple that liked to be seen on youtube. Oh man here it is again. Awful. II am adding a clip of the video, not to advertise, but because I need to show how horrible it is.
A blog to keep track of my recovery from a Triple Arthrodesis.

It's 3 am I must be lonely....or icing and taking Percocet.
So I went to bed around 10:30pm. I was up and around a bit more today and stayed out in the living room for most of the day. Was really exhausted by 9 or 10pm. Had some pizza for supper, and it was awesome. Ate a bit too much. My foot was still painful today, but it has mostly turned into a constant ache. No more sharp or stabbing pain, but still uncomfortable. I am trying to get completely off the ibuprofen and next will be the percocet. My leg is starting to itch from being in this soft cast. I think my foot hurts more because the Badgers lost the Rose Bowl today. I hate to see what it will feel like tomorrow if the Packers lose. I think I'll have to go back into the hospital, for a leg in pain and a broken heart.

New Year
Happy New Year!!! One day closer to walking. I am feeling pretty good today and had a wonderful time last night! A bunch of family came over last night and I actually sat out on the chair in the living room with my foot up, from 6pm until about 1am. Got to celebrate the New Year with people I care about. Made my night so much better and took away much of the boredom. Had some great food and even played some games. My foot felt great pretty much all night. Slept very good last night and so did my puppy. He was exhausted from the company last night. Woke up today and can finally stop having my foot up for 24 hours a day. Starting to keep my leg moving around as much as I can. My mom is starting to get exhausted, but I don't understand why she can't just take a step back and take a deep breath and handle one thing at a time. I took Psychology in school and learned that women will think about every thing they have to do all the time, and men can just focus on one at a time and not worry about the other stuff. Sometimes that can be good and bad. I really appreciate the help she is giving me. Not sure what I would do without it.
