Twinges

Posted , 5 users are following.

I had my staples out yesterday, the nurses were amazed at the amount I had, its so much easier without them, I even snuggled up behind the hubby in bed last night on my good side smile and I slept through!!!!

this morning I keep getting twinges in my groin which are annoying I'm back at work for a couple of hours a day (I was bored to tears and feel fine) I'm just sat at a desk in the best chair ever getting loads of sympathy. I saw the doc yesterday about my enormous knee and he said it's my body re-calibrating 

Gentle hugs to all who need them xxx

    Lucky you my staple day out is tomorrow, love your docs description of swollen knee recalibrating.  I have been forced to lie on my bed several times a day.

      I know, we calibrate lifting and safety equipment at work and it made me feel

      like a lifting machine smile

      Definitely smiling here - thinking about the calibrating and your knee and wok.

      I'm glad you are doing well enough to be back to work although I'm not so sure I would manage as well with my knee still so swollen.

      But kudos to you for taking it on and with such god humour. Take care though.

      Best,

      Linda

    Glad u had ur staples removed, I was surprised that it didn't really hurt only little sting. How many did u have n yours

      we had defective staple removers firstly and It stung like mad but with the right ones it was mostly pain free, I've no idea how many i think about 30 or so.
