I home schooled my son and my husband did everything else. I started taking the antibiotics, twice a day for 10 days. I took Percocet every 4 hours and I wasn't in pain. Percocet made me feel nauseated so I threw up twice. It also makes me sleepy. If I don't keep my foot elevated I start feeling pain. I've noticed that a lot of people that had this surgery walk or put some weight on their foot but my doctor said absolutely no weight at all so on Friday, my husband got me a knee scooter. It is a lot better than crutches. I can do the dishes, clean the kitchen and cook on it. I started out renting it and I did it for 4 weeks. It is $40 a week, so $160 a month and since I'm going to need the knee scooter for around 3 months I saw that it would be cheaper to buy one. You can buy it at Amazon for about $200 but I found mine on Craigslist for $150. It is almost new and then I can sell it after I'm done for about the same price. Mine is really nice, the handle turns so I don't need to lift it to turn it like some scooters that I saw on Amazon. After day 3, I got used to Percocet because it doesn't make me nauseated anymore. I took a bath and I kept my foot up outside the tub so I wouldn't get it wet. It felt so good to wash my hair.
This week people from my church brought dinner. By day 6th I stopped taking Percocet and I haven't felt as much pain but I still need to keep my foot elevated.
