My vein surgery on my left leg went well yesterday afternoon. Had somewhat of a rough night of elevating my leg and trying to walk 10-15min every couple of hours (as suggested) Not much sleep and I went too long without taking meds so I had a little pain....not intolerable.
The liquid Lortab gets me queasy so my Doctor gave me some Zofran. It works really well!
Rented a few movies and am gonna take advantage of the down time. That sounds silly coming from a semi-unemployed person but I stay pretty busy for a slacker!
I am adding some pictures of my very ugly varicose veins (before pics) I am wrapped up now for 72hrs then two weeks in compression hose before I will know the results.
for your viewing pleasure (those with weak stomachs may want to skip the pics, Gross!)
All wrapped up for a couple more days.
I bought a dress, in a size large... on clearance for $5.98 Bad pic, but I eyed it for a couple months so when it came on clearance I grabbed it!
Spent the morning before my procedure cleaning my horses stall real well, This is Georgia my 23 y/o Qtr. Horse
Eeks on the leg. Sorry! I hope the surgery is a fix!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress. Especially on you!
And gorgeous horse. I'm so jealous!
I saw your comment on my blog and wanted to let you know - that's the exact same reason why I put on my weight, too. So, for starters, no need to apologize, I completely understand! I am like you, if I hadn't worked through that I would probably have been in for a world of hurt. I did a majority of my therapy a few years ago, but the last little bit I was hanging onto was let go back in January. And in a lot of ways, it's a new me. Now I just gotta get my body to catch up - but it's coming!
After pics! I can't wait to see the post surgical pictures.
ReplyDeleteYour dress is amazing. You look so thin... I find it hard to believe you aren't in onderland yet. How tall are you again?
Ouch - your poor leg - that looks sore. So glad all went well though. Was thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteLook at you in that dress - you look so lovely!! Waiting sometimes pays off - getting the dress on discount was your reward xx
I hope you are feelin better... ouchie.
ReplyDeleteI love the dress! You look amazing!
Wanted to let you know I gave you an award. See my blog...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your after pics, you are gonna be so happy. Also love the dress, it looks kinda like one I got at TJMaxx (mine wasn't as good a deal as yours) but mine is a size 12 and I got told I look sexy in it yesterday!
ReplyDeleteA co-worker recently had this done. I never saw her leg before but she's had good results! I hope you see the same!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe dress and horse are gorgeous!!! :)
Glad to hear surgery went well. Here's to a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteWow! Good for you for having them fixed up. I don't think I have ever seen VV so large and I used to work on a hospital ward that did them all the time. You will feel such relief.
ReplyDeleteLove the dress and take the rest, movies and pain killers.
Ouchy! Hope the healing goes well! My mom had her veins 'stripped' when she was only 18 and still wears support hose. That's one gene I've dodged (one of my sister's suffers with them), but I got the cellulite one LOL. LOVE the dress...rest up and feel better soon!
