Day 56

1:09 a.m.

I can officially say that I am 8 weeks post-op. It seems like it has not already been 56 full days since I had surgery. My feet are, I'm happy to say, responding quite well to the constant wiggling and bending that I have been doing for about 10 days or so now. I have lots of motion back, but also a lot of pain when I try to go farther. Moving my toes without my hands, they don't do nearly as well, but at least they move.

I wish I could have started this post of with something like, "It's 1:09 a.m., and I just woke up in the middle of a dream..." The reality of this post is more like this: It's 1:09 a.m., and I am, in a living nightmare. I have been awake for 19 hours now. Welcome to the end of sophomore year.

I have my ten week appointment coming up on May 20th. I'm getting x-rays that day, and the Dr. is going to decide if I need these splints or not. I am really hoping I don't need them, or at least not during the day. That would be so awesome.

I also get to start biking (inside) today, but that probably won't happen due to a lot of homework and lack of sleep. I have a feeling that a large portion of the time I planned on using for homework tonight will be spent in a semi-comatose state on my bedroom floor. I'm so tired.

Well, I should pry try and scrounge up any sleep I can. Got to be kicking at 6:30 a.m.

Goodnight, All.
