This one is for you ladies out there. Sorry gents (to much information) lol
I sat in bed looking at my legs this morning, the poor withered one is my good leg!! But against my chunky swollen leg it looks quite feeble ( pair of chicken legs before op ).
It's now 3 weeks Thursday and will doing first physio today.
So just look at those hairy legs, I am not girly at all and wear jeans constantly but for now it's gonna be my short baggy comfy whatever, and they are definitely man legs at the moment sticking out. Down side of dark thick hair on the head (well grey , coloured now) likewise on the legs.
So I have spent this morning so far my first shower, chair and bowl to follow for "the shave".
I have turned into a contorshionist, but finally "I am female again " ankle swollen now, worn out, ready to lay down.
But baby steps back to the world, hoping you all are seeing a progression too!!

thank you for all your replies. Â Â
It it is such a hard time becoming aware of exactly what we have taken on, that to look at the little things that get us back to feeling we are making some progress back to normality, it's good to know that we are not on our own with the daily hurdles. Â
I am now planning how to go to the hairdressers and sit for 45 minutes with a hair colour on! Â Think I will maybe get a little stool and cushion to put my leg up!!!Â
Well ladies, onward we go ! Â Lol

i am 3 weeks but still having trouble with my ankle swelling both ankle and lower leg not yet even when foot  up does the swelling go right down.
probably if I get up and walk around in between  !
we all have those little worries and I will be glad when I can keep my leg down without it swelling. Â At 6 weeks maybe this will be better ?Â
