Update:
On Tuesday (10/18), I drove on my own for the first time since my revision
surgery in late September. I’ve been off
all pain meds for a couple of weeks, regained some energy, and figured out how
to load my wheelchair safely into my truck by myself. So I did a number of errands: filled the
truck with gas, aired the tires, got a haircut, bought some groceries, and picked
up a new pair of shoes and orthotic inserts, etc.
This is the first time in three years that I got something other than a
pair of black shoes. The new shoes still
look kind of strange to me; but I like them!
On Tuesday, I also got my shrinkers so I can begin reducing post-op
swelling.
It’s nice to regain a bit of freedom again while waiting for my limb to
heal enough to begin building a new prosthesis (???about another six weeks or
so???). I’m on the way and very thankful
for a great day!
