just returned from seeing surgeon
Posted , 12 users are following.
I have just returned from seeing my surgeon for my 6weeks check up. He said I can drive my car (yipee) can lay on my operated side in bed and don't need a pillow between my legs anymore. The only thing is he said I need to get more confident because I still walk with one stick but hopefully I will be able to do that before long .also saw the other lady there who had surgery the same day asme and she stiLl has a stick so I feel a bit better about that! Just thought I would let you all know😊

Greetings - all sounds good.
I have been advised that it is 'usual' to return crutches to hospital at 6 weeks but hey, that is my target certainly, but if it's nine weeks then thats the way it is for me!
Go well,
Mic

Is there anyway that you could tie abit of string or somthing similar to the inside of the door and when you get in then pull that to help you closethe door......very rough and ready but it helps at the start.
I used to have to drive around looking for an "Eileen Space"
To give me room to get out ....well dne anyway.
Love Eileen

Thanks for advice here. Confidence to walk across room crutch free is my current target, having mastered crutch free stairs. Feel wobbly and vulnerable when stranded between chairs for support. Still hope tho at 6 weeks to hand in crutches...and drive!
I think for walking on moors two poles would be excellent....tho hope waitrose shop is crutch free.
Enjoy the sunshine e

I can't wait for my 6 week check! It's crazy, but I spend half the time wishing it was 3 months down the line from my op and the rest of the time complaining about how fast my life is whizzing by!Â
3 weeks today for me so a bit of catching up to you yet! Enjoy your new found freedom and I'm not the least bit jealous. Honest 😉
