Several weeks before my injury I had made plans with my parents to head out to Hershey, PA to see my boys. They both had baseball games this weekend and Brendan had a soccer game as well. I certainly wasn't going to let my injury keep me from seeing my boys, so we packed up dad's Tahoe and made the trip out there. As of Friday, I was still taking some of the pain medication, but taking it while driving in the car started to make me a bit queasy, so I tried to reduce the amount I was taking. Still had to take the meds to fall asleep at night, but I was able to tolerate the pain throughout the day for the most part. I crutched and was carted around all weekend, and was able to see both boys play baseball and able to get to Brendan's soccer game as well. Aside from their games and a Sunday trip to Chocolate World (in a wheelchair LOL), we took it pretty easy during my visit. While in the hotel, I was able to unwrap the bandaging, and got my first look at how the wound had been closed up. This is not the most attractive picture in the world!!
Since I was planning to go back to work on Monday, I stopped taking all of my pain meds as of Saturday night, and remained med free all day on Sunday. I was able to keep my leg elevated during the ride back to Ohio, and I was feeling pretty good when I got home late Sunday night and headed to bed.
