I was in a lot of pain today so the morning session with the physio was a strain but she decided that I could manage the 90 degree bend. She said that they would be back after lunch to take me to the stairs. I did order lunch, I picked the vegetarian option of cauliflower gratin, it was small but really tasty.
The stair practice was a job joke really, just three steps and one ascent and descent! That of course was a pass and I was heading home!
Tina arrived a bit later and it is good to be home, even if I may not be completely ready for the move. There was a lovely sunset behind us so Tina went round a roundabout so that I could try and catch it! She is good.....
I was worried about getting onto my bed as it is high, the one in the hospital was low chair height! But the physio had shown me how to use a dressing gown belt to assist the operates leg, and it is a bit painful but can get onto the bed. Will just have to try not to get up too many times in the night. I won’t be late to bed tonight.
Well at least you were mobile enough during the night, that’s good. It still amazes me how quickly you can stand on it after all that cutting and sawing! I suppose pain is an inevitable consequence of it all, but no gain without pain as they say.
ReplyDeleteI’m sure you put your all into the physio even though you were suffering. I bet not everyone does. The stair practice sounds like it’s designed to get you out the door as soon as possible 😊 But I doubt they’d have let you out if they didn’t think you were ready. Good job you’ve got Darren and Tina there to pamper you for a while. Only a short while though I’m sure 😊 I’m sure Tina will be happy to help your leg into bed if you struggle later. Just be careful though if you get out during the night, no tripping over!
Lunch at the hospital looked nice by the way.
The lunch really was nice, am exhausted this evening, climbing our stairs was a workout on its own. Hopefully onward and upward from tomorrow.
