It's been a week now since my last post, not a whole lot new. I've learned to give myself a daily shot of blood thinner. It took a couple of times, but finally my stomach can handle it. There's just something about sticking yourself with a needle that can make you feel wheezy. It's the anticipation. Carl has been stopping by most nights after work and working with me on physical therapy. It has been helping tremendously. I was having problems with the swelling in my leg and Carl used some Kinesio Tape http://www.kinesiotape.ca/ and that took the swelling down quite a bit. I'm looking forward to my next visit to the doctor so I can get my prescription to see Carl at his office so he doesn't have to spend his personal time helping me out.
Unfortunately I ended up missing my mom's famous Thanksgiving dinner; I wasn't feeling all that well and didn't know how the two hour drive in the car would affect my leg. Thanksgiving is my favorite day of the year. My mom makes the best stuffing. If you've had it you know what I'm talking about, if you haven't had it unfortunately you probably never will, I don't like to share J I knew that by not going home I had a couple offers from some friends Lisa & Chip and The Kucharski's to spend the day with their family here in town so I knew I wouldn't be without a place to go if I felt up for it. Unfortunately Wednesday night I was up for the majority of the night with the chills; I didn't think anything of it, but my mom said she hopes it's not an infection from the surgery. I didn't feel sick, so I don't know what it was, but I ended up having the same thing last night, but still probably feel the best I have since the surgery. I wonder if it could be withdraw from the pain medicine which I stopped taking the other day. Thanksgiving Day I spent a majority of the day sleeping and an old buddy Pat O'Boyle that I grew up with in Novi stopped by and spent part of the day with me. Friday (Day after Thanksgiving) I was feeling much better and I was invited to The Fried's Thanksgiving dinner. I was really looking forward to this, I knew the food and the company was going to be great, and I was really looking forward to my first venture out of the house. LeAnne grew up in the South so with her and her mom spending the day in the kitchen (very much appreciated); needless to say the food was plentiful and fabulous, so much to choose from. Today (Saturday) my parents are heading over to help out around the house, I'm looking forward to seeing them (my mom's bringing leftoversJ) just kidding, it will be nice to see them and have some good company. Thanks for reading and take care!
