I am only done "medium well" in the words of my doctor. He was going to attempt to take some of the stitches out, but when he was taking them out, he just gave me a look that told me he was sympathetic, and said "sorry, you are only done medium well." that being said.....it is going to be another week before these darn stitches come out. I mean, I am glad that they are being thorough and making sure I am good and healed, it just stinks that it is taking this long. Honestly, right now, I just want to walk...like really walk, not hop. The crutches aren't bad, they just make it where it takes a bit longer to get places. I am getting pretty good at the crutches though.....*knock on wood* i haven't had any major slip up since the initial one when I came home. I have had to catch myself on the walls and on the stair railings a couple of times, but it hasn't been too bad. I am definitely ready to walk again though, but this is the way it needs to be! I think they were hoping that by giving me smiley face wrap, that recovery would be a bit more bearable! At this present moment in time, I can't tell if it is the smiley face tape, or the percocet....but I am feeling better! Please continue keeping me in your thoughts and prayers....I can feel them everyday as I hit little bumps in the road, and little frustrations at not being able to do very much on my own. In other news: I got to take a shower today.....it felt glorious! and in Olympic news: Missy Franklin won her first medal today in the Olympics! Such an exciting day for so many Olympic athletes today! :) peace out peoples!
