After the panic I had last Monday, I guess I am feeling much better after I gave myself some pep talk about how to get it under control, like using my book reading to divert my attention when I feel the need to touch my leg, or to play with my nieces or concentrate on some posts that I might want to write etc. It did help and I haven't had so many urges to itch (except for once or twice, where I had to use some innovative ways to use utensils to satisfy that urge).
And now comes the argument of how many more weeks I have to endure this. As of today it has been one week and even though I have been able to walk around , albeit very slowly and with some effort, I still feel some pain now that the bandage has loosened up a bit. My bro is saying that the doc said that I have to use it for 3 weeks, I argue it for 2 weeks (that is what I heard him say honest to God truth) and my dad is going with my bro. I told them very strictly that this is the final week I am gonna sit in this bandage after that if I don't get to see the doc I am gonna try and rip it off myself and go back to crepe bandage. So by next week I should be able to do another checkup and see how things go. I wish my leg would listen to me and heal itself faster. As much as I got comfortable with it, (am able to now turn and sleep on one side) I really don't want to hang around with the plaster of paris thing.
Let us see how this goes. Getting bound up like this is no fun (unless you like being pampered, which I don't like one bit). So better be safe y'all.
