Hey ladies!Surgery update now featuring adventures in rehab

[abcdefu]

Early this morning I had my ankle surgery to repair 2 of 3 ligaments that were completely torn.

Surgery went really well, but my body is being dumb! I have been put on oxygen bc my pulse ox keeps dropping to the low 80s. All of the doctors, nurses, aides and all of the other staff are so sweet and nice.

I'm spending the night and may need to stay through Friday before getting discharged. Oh and my equipment rentals aren't in yet! Ugh! Heads will roll if my equipment is MIA still.

So there's the update! I would like to all of you for all the thoughts and prayers! While I am in pain, I am conserving this my starting over of my starting over! Lol! I WILL get through this, obviously entertainment from being here will help! Lol!

Oh and as a bonus, here's a HAWT ass photo of me! *poof*Disclaimer: I'm on of pain meds

UPDATED UPDATE: RAAAAAAAAGE!! I'm still in the hospital because my rental equipment never came in. My claims  adjuster never returned the medical equipment stores phone calls over the last 10 days. Now it's considered last minute so I have to be transferred to an inpatient rehab facility! I swear nothing is every easy and I feel I'm always being tested! Ugh like what the actual fuck?! How do people just get away without doing their job? 

I just want to go home and sleep in my own bed! Is that too much to ask??? Grrrrrrr

thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers!

Girl, I was on morphine for 5 days. I kept my posting to a minimum. It was better for everyone. ;-) I was a sad panda.

I hope the surgery fixes it and you can get out tomorrow.

[Mrs.Rad888]

Woo-hoo, looking HAWT!

Hope everything goes well and that you are able to go home soon.

[cuddlyevil]

Any cute doctors or nurses?

Please tell me you remember the last time I had surgery I took a nap and woke up at, what I thought was 7am but it was still the day before at 7 PM? The best part was that I brewed a pot of coffee! 😂

Ha! I knew too many people on my care team. The struggles of being admitted to your place of employment. It did make it less lonely though.

[stephreloaded]

I am glad it went well. I hope you have a fast recovery!!

[Deleted]

I'm glad to hear it went well! Wishing you a good recovery!

[Deleted]

((abcdefu)) Wishing you a speedy recovery.  I hope you can get home soon.  

[cuddlyevil]

I hope you can get home soon!

[Deleted]

Who is this adjuster and how deep do we need to bury him? UGH. I hope you get home soon!

[glynn]

Hope things get better and you heal quickly.

[abcdefu]

I'm still here. I will be probably be transferred to rehab tomorrow or Monday if there's a bed available. I just want my bed!

TMI: As if it wasn't bad enough, I'm on a clear liquid diet. Thanks pain meds! The nurse couldn't even hear any bowel sounds.

I'm miserable and I just want pizza!

[cuddlyevil]

Ugh. Stupid clear liquid diets. I hope you are home soon!

[bg]

Speedy recovery to you! And boooooo to the adjuster. Unacceptable.

[abcdefu]

Hey ladies: still in the hospital. I'm supposed to be moved to rehab as soon as there is a bed, but of course my blood pressure this morning was 150/102 so yeah. There's no way rehab is going to take me or the doctor is going to discharge me with that. They are giving me an hour to get to my happy place. So I'm here (lol) with my coffee!

My insurance company is so stupid! They just paid for me to stay in the hospital for 5 days and however long in rehab instead of paying for my home equipment. Seriously?!

I'm annoyed, but finally eating real food, if you can call hospital food 'real'. Wahhhhhhh!

[bl]

Ugh abcdefu I am sorry, I hope you get over to rehab and then released soon.

[abcdefu]

I knew my bitching would do something!! Social worker just came in! There's a bed at the rehab next door! Hallelujah! They are his waiting for the final paperwork! Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers!

[abcdefu]

So I'm finally in rehab and today was my first therapy sessions for occupational and physical. You guyssss I am the youngest one here! The nurse thought I was 13. Dude you have my date of birth!

Anyway, this place is OBSESSED poop and bowel movements! I am asked by multiple people multiple times a day, when did I poop last. It's not like they pass me a note to ask! NO they full out yell in the echoey hallway "WE WANT BOWEL MOVEMENTS NOW!"

 
During the gym time, everyone was staring at me. I asked my mom "do I have a penis on my forehead or something?!" (So classy, I know!)

the one therapist asked me what my goal was "ummm to go home..." My house is not considered safe due to the stairs, but God forbid any of my insurance companies pay to install a stairlift which would be wayyyyyy cheaper than keeping me in rehab after 5 days in the hospital for something I was supposed to go home the next day. Drrrrr these people! No wonder insurance premiums are so high! 

Hopefully I will be set free soon!
