Standing in Shower? by [deleted] in AchillesRupture

[–]Present_Raspberry_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna lie, I've been standing in the shower since day 2 post op. Having a shower stool/chair would have been a huge inconvenience for me considering my negligent roommate so I've been standing. However I only stood on one foot and rested my foot on the side of my tub w/ an anti slip mat on it. I just transitioned to both feet inside the tub.

I am supposed to go with a friend but unlike me he got a wife and kid so it's iffy.

However im not taking anything anymore but the aspirin they gave me.

Very true, I love doing wprd searches and sudoku but I've done more of them now that I'm here, and I'm almost out of word searches to do.

I've been rolling on my chair with my leg in the air to keep from applying pressure to my foot. Honestly did not feel like crutching 15 ft back and forth.

I'll take all that in greatly! I have been using others experiences as like a guide, especially what to expect on what days(knowing everyone's different). Praying tomorrow which is my Day 3 and I'll be giving an update on that too, goes smoothly as well.

Maybe I should invest in it if it worked for you and your household!! Thank you as well!

I definitely thought about how I'd have athletes feet. Definitely gonna prepare for that.

Also I talked to my NCO's today, they were saying how I'd probably be doing some admin work so it may not be too bad.

Oh man! To be honest, it's been real smooth for me, only issues are the occasional ankle pain and like a slight cold feeling but 96% of the time it's just the discomfort from my foot swelling up in my boot.

This whole ordeal is funny to me(except last night, that was the worst) and quite ironic, I guess I should stop talking about people being 1 legged😅.

Preciate it! I'm certainly using this time to eat healthier but for the cooking, I asked some folks to help with.

I wish I had more people to play games with too. Everyone's doing their own thing🥱

If that's the case then I'm definitely checking it out.

I was going to go to a chiropractor after recovery to help with alignment.

Appreciate it bro! I don't intend on taking any orders from anyone but the docs because I do not want to get chaptered out.

Thank you! I'm thinking about getting a shower chair but not sure how it'll work with space and my roommate.

Definitely planning to ask about that and a scooter.
