I is back!

Rather longer stay in hospital than I anticipated, but I am home at last, very tired, but not too sore.   Hopefully will catch up with everything tomorrow some time 🙂

Thank you to all those lovely peeps that sent me cards and gifts, you are an amazing group of peeps 🙂

I've only had it once, at my pre-op assessment.  The nurse tried twice in each arm but nothing, she had to get the doctor.  She was a lovely young German girl called Ellie, she got it first time.  She was the one who insisted there was something wrong when I had the embolism.  The surgeon didn't think there was until the CT scan and dye proved her right.

Hip is feeling great thanks CB 🙂  Just tender, but no 'pain' as such.

All I seem to be doing at the moment is sleeping!  Must get someone to bring me some wool, then I can get busy with something.

Sleep is the best thing welshie.  I found I would suddenly feel really exhausted and just had to lay down.  I never go to sleep during the day but I did a few times after the op.  I still go to bed earlier than I used to!!

CG 🙂  My Mum says I always used to sleep myself better when I was a kiddie 🙂  Must still be that, lol.

Managing to sit up, walk about a bit, for about 4 hours, then feel I need to go lie down.

Walking seems much easier today though, swelling is going down quickly now 🙂

My swelling still hasn't gone down!:-(  I put my jeans on the other evening but had to swap back to my joggers!!  I've just measured, my thigh is 1.5cm bigger and my knee is 3.5cm bigger!!!

They were big to start with!:_|  

It's really surprising how long these things take.
