Just wanted to wish you well with your op tomorrow and say I will be thinking about you :-x
Hope you're coping ok pcc. Did you go to your MIL's
Here are some of the cards and gifts I've received from you lovely people.:-x Thank you soooo much.
Yours is behind the hunk, huggles. You didn't think I was going to block him out with a picture of me pole dancing, did you?B-)
Chance would be a fine thing books. I am struggling along on two crutches. If I haven't got the crutches it's almost impossible to move. I have a gadget called a 'leg-up' No huggles, leg UP I said!X-( Which you hook round your foot and lift it into bed or onto a stool.
The worst thing though is getting in or out of a car!:_|
Yes thanks cookie,:-D They had a plastic apron dispenser in my room and I used to pinch one of those to help me in to bed.;-)
Had a phone call from one place saying no blood test needed tomorrow and no injection tonight, take 5mg warfarin, then another one, you do need a blood test tomorrow and take 6mg warfarin. It was confusing enough to start with.:_| Just seen the neihgbout and she's coming at eight in the morning.:O
I've got bruises all over me. Even the tops of both arms where the BP machine cuff goes.
neihgbout ??? Lack of blood causes that! :^O
Neighbour.
I'm glad you're home and settling in CG, how did your lady go? hope she was satisfactory and not going along behind going over what she did!!!!
You'll soon get used to the crutches, just don't do too much too soon.:-x
She was very good capt. apart from being about 25 and a size 8!!! She did things 'properly' and asked if she could look in the kitchen cupboards and drawers. Later, when she was making my cheese and pickle sandwich, she got the cheese out and went straight to the big drawer and got the cheese grater out, so she'd remembered what was in them. She was friendly and agreeable but didn't stand 'gossiping'. She's happy to do anything, loos, ironing etc.:-D
Have just had my first shower with hubby's help.:O He hasn't got a clue!:^O
It's taken an hour and we're both exhausted. He likes putting the cream on my ankles and feet, but then he has to wipe the surplus off his hands anywhere he can. He doesn't like to waste it by washing it off.
I just emailed a friend who broke her leg two or three weeks ago. She had a PE too! I'd never thought of it before but I offered her the use of a walk in shower. Her bathroom is upstairs so hasn't been able to shower for three weeks.:-( I thought she would decline but she's trying to see if it's possible to get here by car. I'll have to tell her, my hubby is now an experienced shower aideB-)
I've found a pillow across the bed under my knees is helpful rainy. The pain varies but I have codeine if I want it. The bruising is only just appearing (I still have the dressing on) but it's yellow, not black/blue/green. Even my ankle on that leg is swollen and yet I'm wearing support socks and have my feet up a lot.
