I have no idea if anyone is reading this blog. It's good for me to chart my recovery process for my own personal use but if it helps anyone in the meantime, well that can only be a good thing.
Another week off work stretches before me. I've not been bored at all yet. I've had lots of visitors and things to do. There's plenty of time for boredom to kick in though. I think this second week may get quite tough. There was so much going on during the first week.
Well it's now been 11 days post op. I'm allowed to take the plasters off today and have a shower without wrapping myself in clingfilm but I couldn't do it! One of the larger incisions still looks a bit raw so I might give it another day or so. It's not nice seeing so many scars on my leg - there are six incisions (some smaller than others) all together - but it's a small price to pay for an active lifestyle I reckon.
My thigh is positively shrinking! After only 11 days! So today I added leg raises to my physio routine and I've also been walking around my home in my brace but without crutches. It's great being able to carry things but I hope this will give me some muscle strength - and I have been told to weight bear after all so hopefully I'm not pushing it too soon.
Got to wear the surgical white stockings for another week and a half. This look is all the rage in Tokyo - if I could wear heels I'd really be on trend over there!
