WOW.....

Just been to the hospital, been signed off for 12 months, they are pleased with me and I am chuffed!

 

Still got to do the exercises, massages, icing etc.... 'cos it will  take  up to 18 months to be 'normal'

 

I saw the X-rays and asked if they put my old knee cap back and yes they have.  The surgeon would rather do that.

 

Just got to get back into walking more again.

I will stay with the group as I might be able to offer some advice...cool

      Best wishes for your op, I know reading up can sometimes be over whelming but the information given by everyone is so valuable and being in with those who have been through this op helps.  It is different for everyone, just take it as ity comes, take your meds, do the exercises and don't rush things..  Take care.

    That's brilliant Hazel. Well done. Please stay with the group....I need the originals from my time on here so I can continue to moan about needing more surgery (and not put off the newcomers 😜) xx

    14 weeks po and I came downstairs this morning without having to stop and think about putting left foot first on the stairs.   Crossing fingers that this is moving on to another stage.

      I miss cooking so much. I find it very relaxing so when I do try, I march on the spot.  Don't know if it helps, but it cheers me up.
