Week 1

Well it's now 8 days since my surgery happened. The first couple of days I was extremely out of it, and the first steps were .. well they were very scary. Especially going downstairs where it is "bad leg first, crutches and then good leg".

Everyone around me has been really really awesome - my family have been super nice (and get me anything I want, this is the life!) Lots of friends have come over with flowers / books / magazines / DVDs so luckily the boredom factor is low. In fact, I could get used to this life - waking up late, having someone make everything for you, watching DVD's and reading books ... reminds me of school holidays :)

I'm pretty mobile now - walking around heaps, and there is no pain. My first day back, I realised I only had enough panadeine forte for 5 days and was worried - but as it turns out I have hardly used any of it! My stitches come out on Monday - and then the world of physio will begin ... can't wait!
