Day 2.
Thursday was a good day. I had a lovely wash with help and then got dressed for the first time. Believe me putting your pants on is rather good after being knickerless for a couple of days!
I started walking of crutches straight from what they call a gutter frame which is a frame you lean on rather than hold. I was in a lot of pain though, most of it was coming from the un operated hip and knee.
Day 3.
Lots of things happened on day 3.
The pain had eased and I only took about 3 lots of morphine where as I was pretty much taking it every two hours at first.
The physios taught me how to do the stairs and have given me a few basic exercises. I have learned how to get in and out of bed and have been given a rail for the side of my bed to help me. The occupational therapist told my Mum and Dad it would be delivered later that afternoon and it was at my house about an hour later. The occupational therapist also taught my Mum and Dad how to lift my legs into bed safely so as not to pop my hip out of place.
The pain is still there and it's sore but you start to live with it. I've been taking a lot of morphine.
