post op day 13 - r i m e

First post operation check up with a promise of having the stitches removed – woo hoo! I even get to see my three screws for the first time in a freakish X-ray and channel the bionic woman.

Nurse D “massages” the wound to expel excess liquid – or so my husband later tells me. Laying on my stomach I can’t feel or see anything, I just suddenly break out in a sweat and become nauseous while she is “taking a look” down there. Stitches are a bitch and not ready to come out.

I am sent home to rest and hope for the best – that they feel like coming out next week.   I’m ready to RIME - Rest! Ice! Meds!  Elevate!
