The last two nights haven't been too bad other than the fact that I have to get up every hour or two to use the bathroom! I think it is all the fluid that they filled me with at the hospital and that just happens after a surgery that just seems to want to drain itself at night while I am trying to sleep.

I wore a compression sock on my left leg most of the day yesterday and last night and my leg is finally going down in the swelling which I am grateful for. My leg and foot have been about double the size of my right and it has been quite uncomfortable. My left thigh feels bruised all over though.

Today I was able to get more done and am able to move around a little easier. DH went into work today for the first time since my surgery so I was on my own for the day. I had an appointment at the clinic not far from our house this morning to have some labs drawn. So I drove for the first time and didn't have any problems getting to and from the clinic. I am able to manage my pain pretty well and can tell when things are wearing off or if I have overdone things a little.
