So I am already one week and one day on from the operation. It’s gone pretty quickly, although this week is dragging.
The pain is better, the swelling is still there and the itching is driving me crazy but onwards an upwards.
I only have 19 more injections to do, 31 days until I can drive again, but a whole 83 days until I can even start to think about bending and twisting AND lying on my side again when I sleep, I know it’s going to kill me. I am propping myself up with pillows and then getting my Mum and Dad to change them round through the night, it’s killing them too, let alone me.
Had a crap day yesterday, the pain from the physio on Monday was really bad and I felt knocked down by it but I had quite a few visitors so that was really nice.
I also discovered the programme Bondi Vet, nowhere near as good Bondi Rescue but it was ok. Did I mention that a Bondi lifeguard tweeted me!!!! It was the day my Niece was born so I don’t know what I was more excited about...the tweet, or the Niece!
Yep, you're right. Post-ops are the hardest things to swallow. It will change your life forever, hopefully for the better. I've been reading a lot about hip replacement surgeries and so far, almost everyone were thankful enough for the procedure. Pain is sometimes hard to tolerate but nonetheless, it's almost certain that you get your life back.
ReplyDeleteHere's an interesting news about depuy asr hip replacement that you need to know.
I know about it thanks Tim. There was a program on the tv about it. I think I'm ok as it's a different metal but then if I'm not, so be it.
ReplyDeleteIt had already changed my life only 3 months on. It's lovely to be pain free.
Thanks for your message.
