Surgical socks/tights
Posted , 8 users are following.
Matron would like to ask how long do I need to continue wearing these awful surgical socks/tights. They overheat my legs and make me itchy, I am 4 weeks post op. Doing my 10/15 min walks every day and pottering about now and again but mainly horizontal most of time?

I was given an anticlotting injection , and given a spare pair before being discharged. I was under impression that everyone had to wear these after surgery when rendered Imobile for a while to help prevent clots, at least until more mobile!

Sounds like you are recovering much quicker than me, I am 4 weeks post op and about ready to start going nutty, my sister are taking me out to lunch on Wednesday, so looking forward to that, just a bit worried about sitting to long. This will be a good test to see how things go as my work is hoping to have me back around 6 weeks if they can find something in the office for me!

Managed to read 5 books over the first 2/3 weeks (Phillipa Gregory and Ian Banks), and have been watching the 'hunger games' (read the 1st book and watched the 2nd and 3rd films, just to watch the last one). It does help pass the time and am now looking at holiday brochures, but my sisters have warned me not to be booking anything as yet!
Can stop me dreaming anyway.
Thats great that your husbands got timd off, Phyl xx
