It takes me about twice as long to recover from general anesthesia and surgery. It seems that it takes at least that if not longer to recover from shock as well. The pain in the foot has finally kicked in. It makes me miss the swelling of the foot.

So two and a half weeks after they give me the drugs, I finally have a reason to use them. The pain was just a little when I was lying in bed this morning. The ankle ached and stung. Guess that means it is healing. It is finally better enough for me to allow myself to feel the pain. Weeeee

My attitude is still better than it was before the accident and I am still grateful for many many things. All in all, I am still happy with the situation. Which means this is another case where I am wired backwards, isn’t it?
