A Little Better
The last two nights have been a little better. I've slept with my leg raised and that's brought the swelling down. Found some pain pills that the doc prescribed for my arthritis pain and took one last night and it helped me through the night. Its odd having to sleep on my back and not moving, but I'll do anything to get the leg well. Its been easier getting out of the recliner this morning so that's a big plus. I checked and the wound care center accepts medicare so if the ankle doesn't show good improvement at the Monday doc appointment, I try to go there. Its time to get the ankle healthy again so I can find something else to worry about.

I\'m glad to hear that you are doing better. I understand sleeping on your back. I was a side sleeper and when I went to the hospital I had to sleep on my back because of all of the drains I had, but now that they are all out I am back to sleeping on my side finally (after almost 1 year between hospital and care center stays). I hope that you can continue to feel better and I also hope for you that you might not have something else to worry about.
I\'m happy to hear that you are doing better. I hope your ankle and leg get all better really soon!
