Yeah, I had a nice little talk with one of my nurses, Ben and he was very straightforward with me with inside knowledge. There’s a chance I might be here all weekend because they’re waiting to hear back from my insurance company. They are trying to get me into a skilled nursing facility or at home PT they are hoping for the latter. I am trying to remain strong and positive, it is so hard. Since the insurance company declined the rehab facility, they are trying to go the best course of action.
Last night was one of the worse nights I have had. I went to sleep around 9pm. I woke up around 11pm to excruciating pain. The pain was so prominent that I was sobing. My pain level was an 11 out of 10 it was off the charts. I have never felt so much pain than I did last night. I was told that it’s normal being three days postop everything from the surgery is out of my system all the drugs and everything so I’m now just on you know Percocet and the muscle relaxers but wow, so much pain. It has made them more conscious of giving me my medicine on time so it doesn’t escalate to that again.
My hotel family’s been awesome. I was told probably by Monday. My access to my email for work will be cut off as well as my teams so I can focus on getting better. I’ve mixed reactions and mixed feelings about it, but I think it might help me concentrate on me because I don’t concentrate on me. I concentrate on everyone else which makes it really hard. I’m hoping to be better sooner and I hope this helps me concentrate on me and so I can be better sooner. I am going to be honest. I really don’t see Australia right now. I just I can’t imagine being able to move. I know it’s a ways away but just wow I mean the hip pain alone is ridiculous. I really am trying to remain positive and really really want to be able to go to Australian New Zealand but if it doesn’t happen, it just wasn’t meant to be.
My dad is here and I’m glad he’s here. He’s scrubbing my house right now as we speak with Jillian‘s help I was very happy. Jillian came up to see me today with my dad. It was so good to see her. I got a hug, we chatted. I think my dad being here and asking her to help clean the house and scrub stuff so I can come home to a semi sterile environment has been really good for her and I think it will continue to be good for her. He bribed her this morning with chocolate chip pancakes from Waffle House it made my day to see her. It’s a little things, trying to remain positive and concentrate on my exercises so my hip doesn’t hurt when I stand up and being able to hobble my way around. I am forcing myself to do my physical therapy even though it’s up it’s really hard especially with that hip, but I’m trying to strengthen those muscles.
Thank you to everyone who’s reached out truly means the world to me hospitals can be a very lonely place. I know this is gonna be a long road. I am hoping that I can keep it together.
