5 weeks today
Posted , 10 users are following.
All going well. Last of the blood thinners today - luckily had tablets - so nice glass of wind at the weekend me thinks. No pain killers, can sleep on either side ( with cushion between knees) and pedometer says I have done 6444 steps so far today. One more week of restrictions (although I did forget yesterday and bend down to pick up a parcel off the floor - oops!). Another week and I will have my follow up appointment and prob return to work ( not looking forward to that). Physically doing great - but two ops in 6 months and the pain etc between have taken their toll - don't feel i' be bounced back mentally yet - still feel quite low.

I hope I'm feeling that good at 5 weeks post op. You are doing amazingly well!
I'm 3.5 weeks now and am starting to feel like things are coming together. It's great when you can begin to see just how worth it the whole thing has been.
Good luck for your continued good recovery.
Ali xx

Decided to see how far I could walk outside without a stick this morning - managed about half a mile, and then a further half mile with the stick. Been out in the garden since and even done a little bit of weeding - with a long handled trowel. Feels good to be getting back to ' normal'.
Hope your recovery is going well. X

I had a much better night and has made a huge difference. Cat was sick in the night ( again!)..and that is frustrating as can't bend to clear up but with kitchen roll and grabbers and determination dealt with most so when next poor vsitor came they only had to deal with stains..sorry hippsters.. but shows you can do most when I thought I couldn't..I fought with the frying pan last night as grabbers wouldn't hold the weight ..gave up on the omellete and had pasta! I think I nmight be putting weight on..
Good night to us all
