Bad Night
The bed is a mess. The sheets and blanket are all over the place,,,some even falling off. There are pale red stains here and there. All are a part of a very bad night. A night that saw very little sleep and a lot of pain. Usually, laying down in the bed will ease the pain, but not last night. Even raising the leg didn't help. It's swollen and no position helps. Thought about going to the E.R., but decided to tough it out. Tried taking the ace bandage off, thinking since it was in the ankle area, it was making the leg swell above. Taking it off allowed the ankle to weep making the stains. The pain has gotten so bad that I had to use an electric cart to grocery shop this morning. Hadn't done that since my knee operation. Just hope I can make it through the weekend. I have an appointment at the wound care center Monday morning. Hope that will be the start of easing the pain and getting the leg well.
