Achilles tendon issues
in Health ·
So, exactly one week ago, my Achilles snapped—total nightmare. I ended up having surgery on Tuesday and I’m still stuck here in the hospital, even though honestly, I’ve been feeling pretty great for the last three days... zero pain, which is a miracle in itself. I was wondering if anyone else here has gone through this? Specifically, how long were you actually stuck in a hospital bed after the procedure? Some of the doctors told me I’d be heading home in maybe 3 or 4 days, but now they’re saying I might have to stay until Tuesday... apparently because of all the injections and the constant blood work they have to do to make sure I don't develop some kind of blood clot or thrombosis. I’ve already had about five or six shots in my shoulder, and yesterday I was popping three pills just to manage... Is this actually standard procedure, or are they just keeping me here longer because I don't have private supplemental insurance and they want to squeeze more money out of me? Seriously, I’m losing my mind sitting here—I’ve got no energy left for this, and all my responsibilities back home are just piling up higher and higher...
