**robotic welding sounds**
What up YouTube it's uh
3 30 am September 26th
and my leg hurts so bad
when I move it it's not really that bad if I'm just
being still but if i move it at all the top quad muscle
Oooo...hurts so bad.
I think maybe I overdid it earlier
with all my moving around when I felt good
could probably have taken it easy, but
I didn't. That's a mistake that I've made countless times - not taking it easy when
you're supposed to. um... I'm gonna go back to sleep now.
The bathroom light is on which means I have to get up to turn it off
and I don't want to get up because it
is really painful to get up.
*sigh*
I'm gonna do it anyway because I don't like the lights on when I wanna sleep
**sound of Christina falling into the bedrail**
Ahhh SSSSSSS that hurtsss
ugh
**crinkling**
**wheelchair creak**
Guess I may as well pee.
**toilet flushing**
it's okay as long as i'm not moving but this muscle here *inaudible*
It's so angry when I move
I have to just try to
think about relaxing it when i move so that it doesn't hurt as bad
*whispering* that wasn't so bad I guess
This is s a big change from earlier today
UGH
The nurse assured me
that's pretty normal there's nothing to be worried about
my leg is not gonna explode or fall off or something
okay
**blanket rustling*
earlier I guess my muscles twitched in its sleep
twitched in my sleep earlier - I guess my muscle twitched
in my sleep and it woke me up like **GASP** it was bad. I felt like it was big stabbed
maybe that muscle is upset because i took a nap on my stomach earlier
uh.. I want... i want to
help make sure I don't develop any contractures
hip flexion contractures so I can wear my prosthesis more effectively
so I thought well it's so uncomfortable to sleep
on my stomach but that's what i'm gonna do
and maybe that aggravated my muscle. It's just a thought
Yesterday I was in pain and then felt good and was moving around
I apparently way over did it because my leg hurts
a whole lot today when I move. If I'm just sitting here in my chair
it feels fine maybe a two on the one to ten pain scale
when i move this muscle up here really hurts a lot
so for example I gotta get in bed
this feels like a big muscle cramp
Ahhhhhh...
All right, so...
The lessons i have learned from today are that don't overdo it on the day after your
surgery. UYou gotta chill out and stay in bed as
much as possible because otherwise you will overdo your
muscles and make them really mad. Obviously some of my muscles are being
held together by staples and sutures and so
using them a bunch a day after surgery is maybe not the best idea
It's weird because i've always been told and taught by OT that early
mobility is one of the best things that you can
do following any type of surgical procedure
like a hip surgery or shoulder replacement
but obviously if you have a hip surgery
you've got hip precautions which are limitations things that you're
not supposed to do when you have hip replacement
such as bending more than 90 degrees at the waist and stuff like that
and there really should be amputee precautions
i'm not really sure what they should be yet exactly but uh
#1 should be that you should really take it easy
and try to limit all the things that you're doing especially
for the first few days.
I didn't really get much sleep last night
like none basically - maybe like 45 minutes here or there
so I'm pretty tired i'm gonna go take a nap now.
all right now it is september 27th 6 p.m and
my leg is still kind of hurty. It's pretty hurty to move around but it's a
lot better than it was before thankfully for a good like 12 hours there was
basically unbearable to move, and and now i can move it
and it doesn't
feel like total ass. YAAY ah that's a relief
Maybe I'll get discharged tomorrow that would be cool.
my prosthetist came by and re-wrapped my leg
and assured me that the extreme pain that I was having
was having up here in that one muscle didn't mean
that anything was broken and that was very reassuring.
he told me that i probably just over did it yesterday
when i was crutching around and wheeling around
and that i should take it easy and try to
stay in bed and not move as much as possible
so that's what i'm gonna do maybe catch up on some sleep
that would be nice by the way i want to tell you know that i have decided to
start a Patreon. I know that there are lots of
people out here who watch my videos who want even more content
or exclusive content or even ask me to make
special videos just for them and so all of those are options
for my patreon you can also get exclusive access to
different pictures and videos that i've made that won't be available on youtube
if you're interested in joining and supporting me i would really appreciate
it it would be super awesome and it would
mean the world to me seriously. Okay i really have no idea what i am
doing with my patreon so it will definitely be patron driven
so what you guys want to see and have is what will be available.
All right i'm done plugging my stuff. See you later bye
