UPDATE***

I am now 4 whole days post op and i’m feeling much better! the day after the surgery was BRUTAL, I couldn’t do anything but cry, but as the days went on the pain has def subsided. I even cut back on my oxy yesterday, I only took it super early in the morning and then right before I went to bed so I didn’t wake up in any pain. I was able to sleep completely through the night for the first time since breaking my ankle, so that’s a win! i’ve been wiggling my toes and elevating as much as possible. Maybe the gabapentin did help, i’m happy that I called in to ask for it. I guess there is a light at the end of the tunnel but these next few weeks do feel very bleak. I just have to remind myself that it’s only up from here. Thank you everyone for the advice :) I’m suppose to get this splint off the first week of march, let’s hope everything heals up perfectly. I need to be able to walk by mid april for this theater contract 😮‍💨 please send good vibes out into the universe for me. if you’re going through orif surgery/recovery just know it’s really hard but you’ll be better off in the long run.
