Well, it's been 9 days since I had the surgery at Mayo. I was discharged on Friday, we stayed until Saturday. We left Rochester expecting to stay 1/2 way somewhere but as we got closer and closer to home, there was less and less places to stay. By this point, I just wanted to come home. We did get out a couple of times to walk around.
Every day seems like my leg movement is alittle better although I am still using crutches so pretty much not being able to do much of anything. I am able to be full weightbearing but I'm not actually really sure how long I should be using the crutches for. My leg is alittle sore - it's really bruised up! Apparently blood loss is not uncommon with this type of surgery so my hemoglobin was a bit low at my oncology appointment this past Monday. We are holding off with chemo pills for a couple of weeks. I will have my stitches out in @2 weeks.
Kurt and Ashley have been extremely helpful with everything. It stinks to not be able to much of anything for yourself - I am ready to be mobile again! But, I thank them for their continued help with everything!
My family and I planned to take part in the Relay for Life this weekend at Al Quaal in Ishpeming on Saturday-Sunday. We will be there, although I will not be able to walk. If you are there, please stop and see us! (I will try to take some pictures...)
I continue to believe...
Cheering you on and sending many prayers!
