Good Night

Last night was a good night for Jimmy, of course with the help of AmbienceCR. He woke up feeling good. I can even squeezed his left foot. But we can never tell, sometimes he has good days and sometimes not. I'm leaving on Monday to go back to work on Tuesday. Jimmy is staying in Savannah until his second doctor appointment on Feb. 4. His mom will take him to the doctor then.

Getting Harder!

It's been 12 days after Jimmy operation. His left leg is killing him, from his ankle to the foot is throbbing constantly. It has became very sensitive. The feeling was like sunburn pain. The pain medication seems not working anymore. He walks lesser each day. His moaning and groaning specially at night woke me up and thus made me tired during the day. It has come to a point that I hate to ask him how he is doing. I hope this is part of healing process and nothing went wrong during the operation. I hope the days go fast till we see the doctor on Friday.

10th Day

Today marks the 10th day of Jimmy's operation. He finally can have a full shower. I took off his inner bandage. The wound looked healing fast, but he had some good days and bad days. The pain usually aggravated in midnight and thus woke me up. Although he didn't mean to disturb my sleep but I can't help not show concern. I'm wound up.

5th Day

One day maybe easier than other day, that's what Jimmy is experiencing right now. But everything is under control, his outer gauze bandage was took off yesterday leaving the inner gauze still on till the 10th day. He had his first shampoo this morning. We went to Fort Pulaski this afternoon. Every morning he has his bone growth stimulator for 4 hours. By and large, he is a very good patient. I have no complaint at all.

Post Operative Progress

I am very please with the progress of Jimmy. At first I thought he will be in excruciating pain after the operation, but I was wrong. His first night was rough but it got better on the second night. He was indeed a good patient and was not hard to take care of. Today he started using his bone growth stimulator. We went to Publix for a short walk. Each day is better than it was.
