24 hours post Fasciotomy

Been reading a few of these posts and have to say I feel very lucky to be in such good shape. I had an endoscopic fasciotomy on my left leg yesterday for all compartments, will be getting the right leg done in 6 weeks. So far just advil and tylenol for pain and I was able to limp around my house within a few hours and can even get up the stairs on my own. I took off the tensor bandage to remove the gauze (still have steristrips on) and noticed I had decreased sensation on my shin bone area. So idk, hope that's just the sensor bandage or something. I'm not sure when I should be good to take a shower, it was explained by the nurse but I don't rememeber. So far I'm really surprised at how well I'm doing!
