Hi all
I havent mailed for a while. I had an infection and massive doses of antibiotics. I thought all was well. Except I am never without pain. I went to PT this morning and the physio said I want your knee reviewed today by doctor, I think you have a haemotoma and ongoing infection. In the mornings I can walk without crutches by about 1pm I am using one crutch and stepping up pain meds, by about 3pm I am using two crutches to drag my body along until I can get up on my bed with my leg. I went back to work 2 weeks ago very part time. I am in a job where I can come and go as I need to. I am trying to set a timetable so I am in for the most important meetings and video conferences.
The physio is now wondering if this is why I could not get on top of the pain right in the begining, hes is wondering how long the infection has been there.
Sometimes the pain is so bad I just want to cry!
The doctor sent me for bloods today and has confirmed infection and given more antibiotics. Im feeling tired quite washed out at a time whenI want to feel really grateful for the knee replacement. I suppose the only answer is to do this one day at a time. I want to keep doing a little bit of the day at work as I need the contact!
Thanks for listening to me grumble
