I'm gobsmacked
Posted , 11 users are following.
Went for my checkup, 11 weeks tomorrow. I told him I stopped using my stick, couple of days ago, still have trouble going upstairs, like I can feel the implant. He made me walk up and down, I still have a bit limp but I thought I hadn't, then I had to sit on the bed and he checked leg length, it was ok. Said the x ray was good, never thought to tell him I fell the day after that in hospital., took a pic of it. He got me to stand and do the exercise where you lift your leg out to the side, that was fine, then told me to hold it, I couldn't.
So I have to lie on the bed on my good side and lift and hold the bad side and do it while standing as well.
I had loads of questions but forgot them and I have to go back 3-4 month, got an appointment for 4 month.
I had gone out the room and realised he didn't say I was clear of precautions. I asked the nurse and went back in, he said what precautions, that was it total blank, I said sleeping on back, back to work.Said another 4 -6 weeks off work, go back when I'm ready. I don't know if I'm allowed to drive, lower seating, bending, or what. He did say to continue sleeping on back, I can sleep on my good side as long as I use a pillow between my legs. As I will probably be back to work before I see him again, I guess I will have to play by ear.
Really wanted to know how to get down on the floor and back up, whether it was needed to have antibiotics before dental treatment, and I can't remember the rest.
So I'm in a bit of a blubby mood tonight and I'm not going to phone work yet, cos I'll just start up again.
Sorry for the long post.

Nothing to add to the discussion but interested in the getting down and up from floor -
thanks Bini and Cels
my dentist said that anti biotics are not necessary for normal dental work -
goodness, so confusing
do you have any pain in hip you fell on?? sometimes a fall might cause some inflammation ....
big warm hug - be kind to yourself - you are doing really good - most restrictions are lifted or relaxed ...
big warm hug

I have decided I'm 11 weeks, I'm just going back to normality. Took the dog out with normal lead and let him off, picked his poop up by golf leg. Got up a bit of a hill to sit on the wall, felt so good.
