Friday, manipulation day. Woo hoo! We decided yesterday to go ahead with the procedure, and try to get all the motion I can while I'm still off. I ate dinner about 9 last night, and went to bed about 10:30. Of course, I didn't sleep very well. Can't have any pain meds either.Not food or water after midnight, for a noon procedure. Dumb.
So, here I am really thirsty, really hungry, and it's only 9am. We have to be at the hospital by 11, so Kym is rushing around, getting everything ready. They told me I would be there for a 23 hour hold after the procedure. I will try to hold them to that. Looking at the pictures from the last one, I think I was there for 2 days. That leg was way more swollen the whole time, so I'm hopeful that this stay will be shorter.
It's almost time to go, and I'll try to write from my phone.
