- I still have pain in my leg, but I am confident it will be better soon. I can tolerate the pain (with some ibuprofen) although it is exhausting. Walking from my desk to the printer is a daunting task.
- The parts of my leg where the varicose veins were collapsed is quite tender to the touch. Sleeping on my side last night was difficult since my untreated leg was applying pressure to the recently treated large vein. Today, someone suggested that I sleep with a pillow between my legs like I during my pregnancy.
- I was bummed to realize that lidocaine is still leaking out of some of the injections sites today. My "no khaki pants" recommendation is still in effect for day 4 of EVCA.
I took my final "bird bath" of treatment 1 this morning. I was tired and groggy when got up this morning and wanted nothing more than to stand in the shower and feel the warm water hit my back. Oh, tomorrow morning will be glorious. These past 3 mornings have made me appreciate my tiny little 1968-sized shower.
My only saving grace during my "bird bath" experience has been the spray nozzle in the jacuzzi tab. I had my left leg in the tub and rested my right leg on a towel over the side of the tub. Leaning over the side of the tub to wash my hair made me dizzy. Maybe I will dry shampoo the next time. I would still have the awkwardness of getting clean without getting my stocking wet, but I wouldn't get lightheaded.
I can't wait to wake up in the morning and take off my stocking! I will be sure to take some pictures of how my leg is looking.
