From the day of surgery up until today, I've been icing both ankles and elevating both feet above heart level. I haven't gotten out of bed. I tried once and ended up crying for the next 30mins. I'm afraid to try again! I'm using a bedpan to use the restroom and am taking 1/2 Vicodin every 2-3 hrs. Oh! And I also take 20mg Omeprazole, every morning before I eat, to help prevent formation of any stomach ulcers since I've been taking pain pills for weeks now. I'm giving myself bed baths and sleeping a lot. It's hell! Thankfully I have family staying with me 24/7 who does everything for me including bringing food and water to my bedside.
