Hi, all!! I am doing ok and everything went well with the surgery on my foot. I don't have any pain or discomfort, but I am supposed to stay off my feet until I go back to the doctor. I had an allergic reaction to the Celebrex for inflamation. My back was hurting and my face swelled up. Two percent chance of that happening. Anyway, I am on Benedryl now and it makes me sleepy. Back ache is gone but face is still swollen. One good thing is that it makes stay put on the couch.


Just wanted to check in and let you know how things were going. Hopefully I will be back after I see the doctor on Friday. I do miss chatting with you all.


Hope all is well with you...


Hugs

Hi Grace. So happy to hear you're not experiencing pain and that you're staying off your foot. Also, glad the reaction wasn't too serious. I was thinking about posting to you yesterday and this morning and got sidetracked both times. My cold medicine definitely affects me. The other day I hadn't had enough to eat with it, and I even had trouble talking straight. Hope you heal quickly and have no more foot problems. Take care.


Hugs,

Rhonda

Grace please feel better soon, we sure do miss hearing from you. You need to get hubby to roll the computer over to you, this way you can check on us more often. Rest and get better. Good luck on Friday with the doctors visit!

Poor Grace! I hate to hear you had such an allergic reaction on top of going thru that surgery & the pain that accompanies it! Sheesh, you've been thru way too much. Will pray for your complete recovery & yes, I'm glad you're forced to stay put so you will mend!

Hugs,

Grace,

Glad to hear your surgery went well. Sorry to hear about the drug reaction and hope that Benadryl is doing its job! At least it's keeping you off your feet! Hope you're up and around soon and feeling better.
