Feeling better, what do you think?
Well, even though it is day 3 I took a shower really cleaned things up and re-bandged everything and took my daughter out for a very SLOW stroll. I'm still hurting my knee is the worse but it's getting better. It's just kind of hard with people staring at my face like OMG... Anyway, I'm going crazy, and am thinking about just getting on the spin bike tomorrow and just spin...take it easy, nothing crazy....do ya'll think it's too soon. I feel that I almost need to do it for the wound on my knee so that the skin doesn't atrophy or get tight even though I'm keeping it moist and using alot of natural aloe.
I wanted to thank you all again for the words of encouragement it has really meant alot. I'm also getting the book that was mentioned ordered on half.com today.
I THOUGHT I was doing better.
I'm sure ya'll are sick of hearing about my drama, but I have to ask ya'll what I should do. I wen't to the E.R. at 5:30pm last night because even with all the care I've given my wounds I could see they were getting very swollen, hot and VERY red....and EXTREMELY painful....(INFECTION!!)
Anyway, I get in there, they insist on doing a whole nother round of X-Rays and another CT of my head. 7 HOURS later, they come in tell me eveything looks fine, but now I have cellulitis starting in my knee and arm and my site's have to be debrided. OMG NO pain medication was EVER offered to me which I don't like to take it anyway, but when they cleaned out my wounds....I would have taken ANYTHING. So it was 2AM by they time I got home. The E.R. was dead, the Techs were RUDE. So, do I bother writing a letter of complaint and to whom would I write it? Would they even care? Not once was I asked if I needed anything, I sat in the room and stared at the wall in pain for 7 hours. Don't you go to the hospital for relief?? Oh, and finally, EVERYONE that heard I was in a biking accident told me to stay off of MOTORCYCLES!!!
