Third Doctor's Appointment and Such

[kiki_miserychic]

The doctor didn't annoy me as much as today. She didn't make awful jokes about my leg or make me play Name that Tune. She was a low grade irritating. Although she did make fun of my dressing. I had to change it again yesterday because of my epic fail at dressing changes. My second dressing from Sunday slipped halfway off my wound somehow and I had to change it. The one I went into the Wound Center with was slightly off center and the doctor said she hoped it wasn't done by one of her nurses. I explained that it took me 45 minutes to do the first dressing change because I kept getting lightheaded. She said that was fine and that I'd get better at it. I said that it was packing the silver stuff that hurt and made me lightheaded. She didn't seems to care too much about it and basically her answers were along the lines of suck it up.

I had a bunch of questions today because I've some major pain issues this week. Much more than anything since the surgery. I've been getting muscle twitches in my thigh, which hurt so freaking much that I can't do anything for almost a half hour afterwards. The doctor said that it's normal and it means that it's healing. That's not as comforting as it should be because it hurts now.

I'll be off studying for my PLT until January 10th, so I probably won't be around too much.

Guess what movie I'm dying to see?

I'm so sorry you're in that much pain, but I'm very glad to know the doc thinks it's healing properly.

Sucks that you gotta be in pain. Especially because of a thing that came out of the blue.

This post made me want to adopt you and feed you chocolate.

Argh! ::hugses::

I know that it's not much comfort because you're in pain, but at least it is a good thing and a sign you're getting better. How much suckier would it be if it meant things were going wrong, right?

Good luck studying for your thingy! You'll be missed, but since you'll be back before BSG starts again, I don't feel the need to stage an intervention. :p

I'm sorry you're in so much pain. But I'm glad the doctor seems to think it's good. I know that doesn't help with the pain though.

Your doctor really needs a used bandage stuck on her face.

I'm gonna shout LESSSBIANS at people all night. Especially at lesbians.
