Day 6

So I haven't taken any pain pills in over a day. I now have a small pharmacy worth of Vicodin left over. I suppose I'll just save them for a rainy day. I have actually had a great few days off and caught up on some Redbox movie watching. I still can't get over how good I feel. I'm really not hurting, just greatly inconvenienced with this cast on. I have a three week post op appointment set when I believe Dr. Y will take my cast off and determine whether I need to be in the cast longer or if I can now move on to the boot. I actually talked to a friend who ruptured his achilles in April and he told me was in a cast for 6 weeks and a boot for 6. He is only just now running and working out. I think he limped around on it for a while before surgery so he could have done more damage prior to surgery. My next step is to come up with a set timeline for myself so that I can try to get back into shape as soon as possible.
