Hey everyone, here's an update:
Day of surgery wasn't so bad, and the day after was alright, but since I left for that dressing change Friday afternoon it'd gone downhill. It's a bit disappointing that so far it's been getting worse with time, instead of better. Actually, I think it'd be more accurate to say it got worse, then leveled off. The low point was a near fainting spell yesterday morning and hanging out with my head in the sink for two hours trying (and succeeding! yes!) to stay conscious, but since then I've kept away from nearly fainting and that's definitely good. I'd thought about calling the doctor then, but since I haven't had an episode that severe since I decided to wait until my Monday appointment unless something new and concerning comes up, or the fainting stuff repeats itself.
My first round of pt is tomorrow, immediately followed by an appointment with my ortho. It's gonna be my first long(ish) drive, as my doctor is at his suburban office on Mondays. He works with two physical therapists, one in the same plaza as his suburban office and one in the same building as his city office. I met the city pt on Friday and will be meeting the suburban one on Monday. I'm looking forward to it. We're scheduled for 45 minutes. For those who have had aclrs, how painful was your first round of pt?
